This was an exceptionally good tour led by Daphne who has a degree in archeology and was extremely knowledgeable. We have done a lot of these tours around the world and we both agreed this was the best one we have done. It was well thought out and immersive in ways tours tend not to be. On the tour we revisited a couple of sites my husband I had had previously been to but Daphne was able to point out so many things we had overlooked or not fully understood. This tour is a must for visitors who wish to appreciate the city’s fascinating history and sites. Highly recommended.
