The perfect tour - A very thorough tour, our guide went over taking us inside some of the buildings, which was an unexpected treat. She had additional information, in case anyone wanted to go on their own. Lots of history about the area too. One of the best I've been on.

Great tour, so much history and fun - Paola was our guide. Paola was a great guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable and very funny. I’ve been on lots of tours and sometimes the humor is awful or corny or frustrating by the end, but she hit the right note throughout the whole tour. She was engaging, conscientious and made sure that everyone was part of the group and felt included. And Really took her time explaining everything and making sure that people were in the right place to get attractive photos. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.
