This is probably one of the first Wow, this City is unexpected beautiful moments I experienced on my walking tours. Thanks to TOMISLAV for the professional presentation of Sofia. He had enthusiasm and his English and German is flawless. It was a fun and must adventure. Blagodarya! Michael

Dany, we left earlier at your tour as we have a long list of allergies in Chinese which we can't explain all in front of the other tourists who were waiting for the tour. Thank you for understanding and we trust you guys will have fun. Next time, we will check clearly if we need to eat in food tours before we join. This is because as in Asia, we join and eat as we pay and we won't end up wasting free food which you so kindly arrange for us. Thank you
