Nice walking tour of the city. - We enjoyed our walking tour with Tamara. She has a lot of information about the city and is enthusiastic to share with the tourists. I would recommend a walking tour to anyone when you arrive to a new city. The guides can help you learn about the city, give advice on things to see and places to go. I did have some trouble finding the meeting place. The "art" was not as visible to me when we arrived to the square.
