“This was an excellent tour that exceeded our expectations. Our guide Zara was amazing, very knowledgeable, fun, and captivating even for our teenagers (who, as all teenagers, are not easy to impress ;) ). We all loved the tour and agreed that without her explanations we would probably get only 5% out of our visit, because there is just so much to see and it’s a real visual overload, and when you go as a family it is difficult to know what to focus on and you can possibly read all the descriptions. With Zara’s help within 2,5 hours we covered so much and felt so enriched and intrigued by…”
