Amazing! - Our tour guide Sabina was amazing, she made sure to explain everything in detail across multiple languages as well! She never failed to make sure to include all about everywhere we stopped and made sure that she communicated clearly with everyone! The 2.5 hour tour with her felt like only 5 minutes. Highly recommend!
