Enjoyable and interesting tour with an approachable and knowledgeable guide Hajdi - Our tour guide was Hajdi, she was very friendly, humorous, shared exciting stories of the city, also from her own childhood and personal experience in the city, along with the detailed and interesting city historical facts. Pick up time and place went smoothly. The stroll felt good despite a heat wave, it was not too fast paced, and I feel that these couple of hours really went by quickly.

Super interesting and very friendly - This was a great tour around the old town. The tour started at 8pm and many of the sites we visited were so nicely lit at that time. Our guide, Hajdi, was extremely knowledgeable and had many anecdotes and funny stories. We also received many tips of things to do and shops to visit during the rest of our stay. I would recommend this tour to really put the sights and local features into context for the rest of your stay.
