    Being history lovers this walking tour with our knowledgeable guide Sargon was awesome! We got lots of extra information and insights about the many squares and significant houses around them. Highly recommend for history and a bit of architecture thrown in!

    Wonderful Time
    Brian_B, May 2021
    By sheer coincidence, ended up being only 2 people on our tour…which was AWESOME. Our guide was easy to engage, entertaining, and more than accommodating. A few of her historical facts were “disputed” by guides on later tours that we took, however, but nothing that was make or break on our overall tour experience. All in all, would recommend.
