Terrific walk about the old city- - I really enjoy these kinds of local tours in cities that we visit. Francois didn’t disappoint. We had a really great walk and tour thru the old city and got some great information, history a bit of local politics, not too much…. If you know what I mean. He also had some good where to get the best views for a glass of wine, tips on old buildings etc.

Very good introduction to the Old City - Very good tour of the Old City with clear and concise explanations of the various buildings, areas, etc. François was knowledgeable and engaging as a guide. My biggest issue is that we started 15 minutes late because we waited for some stragglers who were delayed.

Advertisement tour? - It was just an OK tour. Expected more historical information but got a lot of “you should eat at this restaurant, you should shop at this store” and it was just kind of weird.
