Excellent tour - Excellent experience. What I liked most is having finished the tour in Getsemani since I didn't know about it. He gave very good tips on street stalls.

IT IS ESSENTIAL TO DO IT TO GET TO KNOW THE CITY - We love free tours and this one did not disappoint us. Nancy was an excellent guide. The route was respected and at a good pace, given that we are an older couple. Nancy not only provided us with data but also anecdotes, she was very friendly and inclusive of all people of different nationalities. He answered all our questions and even gave us necessary information about the city. Thank you Nancy!!

Extremely difficult to find meeting point! - Our big complaint is that the meeting point you sent us was an address that absolutely no one could pinpoint. We asked store owners, cops, etc. looked for a half hour. Finally a young lady suggested a big intersection—a block away from the Mall you named. We asked around and found a FREE walking tour and the man had our name. So we paid you for a FREE tour! There were many landmarks at the meeting point that you COULD HAVE GIVEN US! The tour itself was OK and we liked the guide. Just felt like we just moved from spot to spot and listened to his history stories. I expected more points of interest to be pointed out. Never went down one of the pretty streets you see in the pictures. We’ve had better free tours in other cities.
