our guide Pedro sorted everything for us and the old market the guide took us through was the highlight ... Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. Fine even with my dodgy knee, and perfect intro on day one, and hit 8 landmarks. Would book again no question.

our guide Hana was brilliant and the cathedral square at golden hour was the highlight. Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. Mid-week so it was quiet, and hit 8 landmarks. Would book again no question.
