Transportation to the activity was us walking there, and that was fine! Google maps came in very handy with the winding walkways and narrow alleyways. Our tour guide was very pleasant and told us a little bit about the history of the city and the special sights to take note of.

The walk was very nice. We liked that it was through small channels, because it is quieter. Our very friendly guide and he was talking about the environment at all times. We liked it a lot . We recommend it
