our guide Omar sorted everything for us and a backstreet mural the guide spotted was the highlight. For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. First thing in the morning, and spot on for a couples day out, and 10+ little stops. Would book again no question.

our guide Kemal couldnt do enough for us and a viewpoint locals use was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar walking tour we tried in Paris.
