I have been doing lots of free walking tours in different countries, but this one was the best one I have ever been on! It exceeded my expectations by far! Avi is a very knowledgeable, fun and thoughtful guide. The itinerary was great and it was a very interactive tour with lots of new insights. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!
