Detailed history

Enjoyed the detailed history while walking the old city. Guide had many facts to share and liked how the history was presented. The guide took questions throughout the tour from past to present which were helpful understanding the people who had lived inside the walls as well as present day.

Great tour

At the same time as learning some interesting history and seeing sites we would not have seen on our own, we experienced 3 different amazing restaurants that again we would not have visited. The guide, .Yves, was VERY pleasant and knowledgeable.
