Interesting walking tour

Published on Feb, 2025

The tour was easy to book in advance and we received email confirmation. On the day before the tour our guide sent a reminder via WhatsApp. The tour was super interesting, and Joseph our guide provided the right level of detail at each location. The tour was the right length too, considering how baking hot it was.
