Enjoyable, informative and fun small group walking tour. - Our guide, Sebastian, was very informative. He was easy to understand and didn’t bombard us with too much information. We learnt so much about the area and some of the places we would’ve just walked past and not known some of the interesting historical facts.

Highly Recommended! - Pierre was awesome. He pointed out places of historical interest, arts, activities, shopping and more. The route that we took was a great one: very enjoyable and although it was cold we didn't mind because the sightseeing was so engaging and mixed in with a couple of timely and fun indoor visits and discussions.

It was fascinating to hear firsthand experience from our guide of the history of the language of the city. I would have loved to hear more history but grateful that we got to see so much of the city in just two hours, even though it was cold!
