Lots of history nice tour. You do not get to go inside any of the establishments. As far as our tour guide he was young and had other embellishments about the history that didn’t quite line up with facts.

icon Response from Host , Oct 2020
Thank you for your feedback. Our web site and other marketing materials are very clear that we do not go into the sites. We market our tour as an outdoor walking journey. The tour is meant to provide an overview of the sites and the historic area, so that you can get an orientation to the area, and then decide which sites you would like to go back and visit in more depth on your own after the tour since everything is within a few blocks radius. As far as what you said about the tour guide, I'd like to look into that so I'll be sending you a private message to get more details about the exact date and time you took the tour so I can look into this further. Thank you.

Great walking tour that explores the old city! Our tour guide was excellent and provided lots of details and information about everything we saw. Very educational and fun. We were surprised with how large the group was-25-we all wore masks and the guide spoke loudly but just surprising with covid that such a large amount of people were together.
