    A nice little walking tour around the old town with details from our guide as we visited several local highlights. Our group did this on the first day as it seemed like a fantastic introduction to the island's history and local knowledge. The guide was fantastic, she gave us a lot of details and answered all questions. Very good value for money.

    Guide war kompetent, hat gut und viel erklärt und hat auch Fragen die nicht direkt mit dem Thema zu tun hatten beantwortet.

    Die junge charmante Führerin hat gut und informativ geführt und erzählt. Die Organisation vorab hatte Schwächen: Falsche Terminangabe, keine genaue Treffpunktangabe, zu wenige konkrete Vorabinformation.

    Toller Gang durch die Stadt mit einer sehr kompetenten und jungen Studentin, die uns viele Ecken zeigte und viele interessante Geschichten erzählte.
