Excellent tour with a fantastic guide!

We really enjoyed this free walking tour! Manuel knows a lot about the history of the city and shared many interesting facts throughout the tour. Since it was just the two of us, he adapted the tour to our interests, answered every single question and made the experience feel very personal. His English is excellent and you can tell he's passionate about what he does. We learned so much and had a great time. Highly recommended if you're visiting the city!
