It's better to take the tour in the morning at 10:00 instead of the 2:30 time slot because it was very hot walking around the city. Also ask the guide if you can sit down on a bench for about 10 minutes because it is a long walk.
The information was fabulous and the sites beautiful. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable however he went way over the tour time which made it less enjoyable in the heat.
