Exploring the city on your own terms
A great way to explore the city, including both main attractions and hidden secrets. It allowed us to explore with our time and rhythm winch is really good for older travellers such us we are. (some ups and downs required a rest afterwards.) There is just enough interesting information and stories, but not too much to make it heavy. Really good tour.
