This tour has one of the best guides I ever had. Fernando is so knowledgeable and thoughtful. Highly recommend.
Good tour with lots of information and a great guide.
Very Nice , informative . Private personalized. tour
For sunny days, bringing an umbrella that completely protects from the corresponding effects is advisable.
I think a better tourguide would have made this tour an awesome experience. Clearly the guide wanted to cut the tour short.

Very nice overview of the city with opportunities for dinner very nice photos. His the high points. A good value. Just right...not too long.. It actually was only 3.5 hours long which was plenty. The climb to the top is relatively short but can be steep, demanding some stamina,. One thing you will definitely want to see that's not included is the Gethsemane area but the streets are narrower and it's better for waking
