I would really recommend Ester's walk. Due to availability, we booked for our penultimate day, but it would be best to book early in a trip to provide an introduction to where you might want to spend more time - or if you only have one day then you will it will help you see as much as possible in short space of time. Ester's knowledge and experience was brilliant for helping us understand and appreciate what we were looking at, with an entertaining delivery. She encouraged questions and made everything as interactive as possible. I have done walking tours in a lot of cities across Europe and, in my opinion, Ester's is certainly one of the best. Dakujem, Ester!
