The tour was very well organized, and our guide, Petra, was exceptional. It was very informative and offered a relaxed walk through the city. I would highly recommend it! Just a note: it doesn’t include walking on the city walls, which I misunderstood. You’ll need to purchase separate tickets for that. Still, I would definitely recommend this tour! ????????
