This was one of the highlights of our trip! Martin, our guide, was absolutely fantastic! I'm a history buff so a lot of the sites had been on my list to see for a while. He provides you with so much information that unfamiliar guests can learn a lot! Given the duration of this tour (5 hours!) it was nice to spend it with Martin, whom we cannot rave enough about. I'd highly recommend this tour!
