“We booked this tour because we only had a few free hours in the city & we didn’t want to miss the important stuff. It was well worth it. Our guide was so welcoming & shared interesting stories of the history of the city. We stopped for a hot coffee & snacks along the way. I enjoyed the shopping stops & grabbed all my souvenirs.”
