We saw a lot of the city.. our tour guide Marko was fun and showed us many things we would not have noticed on our own and gave us lots of information ( stories) about them. He made the walking very enjoyable. The food we tasted was very good.. I only wish we had more than 5 food stops. Very good tour..
