Our guide was amazing, so this is not a knock on her. She was exhuberant, knowledgeable, fun, and super pleasant. She was a 10 on 5. However when booking a tour, have an idea of what will be featured. If you're into cultural elements, this would be fantatsic. If you want history, maybe not the right tour

Great tour to get your bearings in a new city. Fannie, our guide was entertaining and informative and showed us the main highlights in the old town. Including headphones on the tour was a nice touch, and made it easy to follow in the busy areas.
