We did not see many of the things listed on the website. Very disappointed, we have used viator in other cities and enjoyed the tours.

We booked this trip very last minute as we were a little concerned about how safe it was to walk between local attractions/historic sites. I would highly recommend this tour, our guide was really down to earth, brought humour to the tour and was exceptional knowledgeable. We learnt so much, much more than we would have done if we’d have just walked around ourselves, we also saw lots more than I thought we would. If your looking for a tour, I would recommend this one.
