Our guide was...

Our guide was outstanding. They pack a lot in to two hours, then we had the rest of the afternoon to explore on our own. Don't miss the museum.

This tour was excellent. Our tour guide...

<p>This tour was excellent. Our tour guide Adriana was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, personable and just a great guide. We had a large group and she was more than accommodating to help us see all the highlights. We had our 92 year old mother with us and Adriana was very accommodating to make sure our mom was comfortable as there were parts she could not walk. This tour was great for everyone who loves history. It was a lot of walking so make sure you are ready, willing and able to walk with comfortable shoes and cold water.</p>
