Educational, entertaining, and generally wonderful! - Our tour guide was Maria, and she was EXCEPTIONAL! Funny, easygoing, loud, clear, knowledgeable, and entertaining, she made three hours fly by. The tour itself included a significant amount walking, but mostly flat and clean. We did this tour on a weekday, and it was a reasonably sized group and the attractions weren’t overrun with other tourists. Overall, amazing experience! Highly recommend! We also recommend the Cold War tour, which is equally long and equally informative.
