Good info..wrong tour for me.

I thought there would be more walking for a walking tour. There was a lot of standing in one spot. This was not good for legs…

We enjoyed the walking tour. It was very informative with a humorous twist. We were a group of 7 from 17-60 and we all equally enjoyed it. Would not recommend if any of your group members have limitations like a wheelchair as there was someone else in another party that came through and they struggled on the cobblestone.
