Our tour guide was Lara. She was awesome! So informative! She knew everything and I mean everything about the sights and surrounding area. Always spoke with a smile, super friendly and funny. We had a great time and were exhausted by the end of the tour from the walking. Bring comfy shoes and be prepared to walk up hills a lot. Lots of time to eat and lots of places to choose from.
