Excellent guide, very detailed, very interesting couldn't ask for more. I would recommend this very personal experience, much better than joining larger groups.

Well worth the time. Guide very knowledgeable. Some difficult walking uphill and many steps. I do not recommend this tour for people with mobility issues.
