Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, we were well informed of historical events, dates, names etc etc He had a good sense of humour and made out your so enjoyable. We were not rushed and he was more than happy to answer all our questions, we’ve have done a lot of tours in many countries and our guide yesterday was up there with some of the best. Great experience.
