The wonderful guide was right on time and we began the long walking tour. This was a personalized tour and we ended up seeing many unique spots that are NOT in any guide book. He answered all my questions and pointed out many interesting things about architecture and talked about Soviet times and influences on the city, the war and reconstruction. We stopped for warm cup of coffee and a break along the way. The tour ended near the Castle and entrance to Old Town and after walking over 10 km I chose not to climb up the steps to the viewing platform, plus it was snowing at the time. Very enjoyable day with great guide.
