Excellent guide, very knowledgeable and helpful and providing a rich detailed history to all of the sites visited and an insight into the local life and culture. All of the key sites in the old city are covered, with ample time in each location. Had a brilliant experience; one doesn’t even feel the time passing!

Our guide was excellent! He was insightful and very well informed of all the sites and places we went to. Best of all, on this day, we were lucky enough to be the only people in the group which made it a nice private “VIP” tour. It would have been nice if the tour company had provided information on who to look for and the contact number for the tour guide would be the night prior to the tour.
