The tour was enjoyable. There ere a total of 8 people in our tour. 6 people were from our family. We met in front of the castle where a brief introduction was made and we made our way through the stops on the tour. The tour ended on golden lane with a bunch of little shops where you could buy souvenirs. While on our tour, an individual on their own heard our tour guide speaking about something and the tour guide kindly answered their questions even as they continued asking more questions.
The guide was very knowledgeable. The tour of the cities was informative and the group was fun to be with.

Is far to stand and walk if you are older A long information about the cathedral is very interesting and at the same time tiring because it is not possible to sit and rest
