Truly a wonderful walking tour - What a wonderful tour. Yussef was professional, knowledgeable and kind. He made this tour come alive with interesting facts and historical insights. He approached our tour with dignity and respect. This tour and specifically our guide made this tour the finest walking tour we have experienced in Europe. Ask for Yussef. You won’t be disappointed.

Not a great tour - Our guide, Antonio, was a pleasant and amiable fellow. The content of the tour was light on information compared to others we have done. In addition, the pace was quite fast, especially for us older folks, causing the group get spread out in very crowded areas. Antonio had a brightly colored flag he used when we initially gathered but didn’t hold it up as he walked so it was easy to lose sight of him. In addition, it was often difficult to hear/understand him. We would have benefited from having radios or at least from Antonio having a microphone.
