Excellent tour - We recommend this tour! It was informative and a good use of our time. Our tour guide, Arthur, was excellent. He is knowledgable and did a wonderful job explaining what we were seeing with a solid historical perspective. He also made good recommendations in terms of other attractions we should (or should not) see, as well as restaurants, which we appreciated.

See the city in a unique perspective - def a fun one to include in your visit. - Great way to see some off the beaten path viewpoints in the historical center. Easy meeting set up by Daniel and then he led us through doors and corridors in a way that felt like a treasure hunt adventure! We stood in nondescript corners of staircases only to look up at intricately painted ceilings; we walked through a traditional cafe that felt like a passage through a time machine; and he kept up a steady narration of tales and anecdotes that made the entire thing come to life. Very fun way to spend a couple of hours. Highly recommended. Enjoy!

Excellent start to our visit - We learned so much on this tour. It introduced us to spots and knowledge we would not have accessed in our own. Joss was enthusiastic and gave us more of her time than we’d expected.
