Very recommended. Although it was rainy, our tour guide did a very good job! We went through the whole city and he told us a lot of interesting stories and facts. I really enjoyed it!

Luc was an amazing guide! The tour took us to parts of the city we would’ve glossed over and walked by without thinking. I would definitely recommend booking at the start of your trip because he gave great tips on others things to see in the city.
