Mio was great! Informative, funny, helpful, he had it all! We enjoyed the tour and highly recommend Mio.
Phenomenal tour, Mijo is extremely knowledgeable and kind. He goes above and beyond: he showed me a separate area not covered on the tour after I asked about it, and even gave me more historical context about that piece. Highly recommend!
Mijo was lovely, super casual but a very competent guide, you can tell he's been doing this for a long time. He knows the city like the back of his hand, knows all the shady spots to stop and chat, made us laugh, and we left the tour with lots of good facts and good photos. Would highly recommend.
Excellent tour. Very informative & great sense of humor.
We had an excellent guide who took us through the different places in the old city, sharing historical facts and curiosities the whole time. He was very kind at all times and knew a lot about any subject. At the end he shared good recommendations for restaurants and activities
