A fabulous day on the city walls - What a wonderful tour! Our guide, Marko was fabulous — so knowledgeable and friendly. Be made it fun and interesting for both my 16-year-old and my 9-year-old. And since he grew up in, and still lives in, the old town, he was able to share childhood stories along with stories from the town’s Medieval history. My whole family loved the experience. I can’t recommend the tour highly enough!

Walking the Walls on a Perfect Day - The views are spectacular and Marko, our guide, was a great resource of history and culture, and fun to be with on top of that. Starting early at opening time with a guide and few people is the way to go!
