Worth the sunset views !

Published on Dec, 2024

Great history and perfect tour for sunset ! We had the most beautiful views and sunset in the background of most of the photos. It wasn’t super hot even-though She walked us all over the town and highlighted the most popular sights we wanted to see! There was only the fort that was too dark to see by the time we got there but it’s so big you would want to go back in the daytime on your own anyway. She knew her history, helped take photos for us and landed us in a busy spot great for dinner and people watching. She was king enough to have a list of great recommendations as well of where to eat. Loved it all, would highly recommend !

Wonderful Guide Melanie did a spectacular job. The tour covers a lot of ground, the tour guide well prepared!
