our guide Yusuf had so many stories and a tiny courtyard tucked off the main drag was the highlight, and great if youre not super fit, and 10+ little stops, no joke

our guide Mei was nice enough, but an old bakery we stopped at for a snack felt a bit rushed honestly, and would only really suit you if youre not fussy, 2.5 hours and never dull.

our guide Ana sorted everything for us and an old bakery we stopped at for a snack was the highlight, and worked great for a solo traveller like me, and 2.5 hours and never dull.
