Aza was amazing. She was able to give huge amounts of information about the city. This made it a very interesting tour. We did a morning tour so although everything was closed, we still had lots and lots of information provided to us if I was doing this tour again I would definitely do an evening tour or late afternoon and I would definitely ask for aza again as she made it a perfect family tour. I would definitely recommend that anybody who wanted to do the tour do it through her.
