Perfect way to spend an evening - Daniel was an excellent guide. Very conversational, great depth of knowledge and engaging throughout the tour. The time flew by and the food was perfectly portioned and complemented the route very well. The combination of walking, stops at historical sites and bites of food was an ideal way to spend an evening. Highly recommended.
