Leo was great! - Leo was meticulous, cheerful, knowledgeable, and flexible. He came to seek us out in the lobby even though we were not yet at the appointed place. He gave just enough information on all the sites. He let us explore in detail certain things even though we were on a tight and packed schedule! He was really great.

tiring but beautiful - extremely recommended tour, the only negative notes are the difficulty in finding the meeting place and the considerable distance to walk. Overall, however, everything you see is worth the 10km to travel!!
