Had a great tour, in great weather. Certainly covered some distance. Went to all the sites ( or as close as possible in some cases) plus other places linked and of interest. Pics, notes, footage included from a tablet too.
This tour was fantastic! It is a lot of walking, so definitely wear comfortable shoes, but it is 100% worth it. We visited every single major site on the itinerary and I felt like I didn't miss a thing. The guide did an amazing job of telling the whole story of the city/area, weaving everything together perfectly. Highly recommend if you want a complete experience!
