A stroll with a sweet and funny local

It was one of the best free tours we've ever taken! Our guide, Ektor, is a local who clearly puts his whole heart and soul into this tour. It felt like walking with a friend who knows the city inside and out, and a sweet grandpa full of funny anecdotes, fascinating facts, and history. We learned a lot, got plenty of useful tips, and visited hidden spots only a local would know, while still covering all the main sights. We highly recommend it!

Exciting and informative

The tour was really great—we got so much in-depth information that you wouldn't get on a standard tour, and we had a lot of fun, too. I would definitely recommend this tour!
