Nice experience and nothing expensive.. - That was great. Tempo accompanied. The guide gave him a lot of sympathy. It seems he had done it many times before. In my opinion, half an hour less would not have mattered either since it lasted two hours, it was cold in the faces of several of the group and they did not fully enjoy it.Instead, it is impressive how much culture, art, history, nature can be put together in just kilometers. Price for nothing excessive.

Can't miss it - It was a great trip with a small group which was the best part. You didn't get lost in the huge crowds and were taken care of. Totally worth the money.
