This tour is fine if your... - This tour is fine if your just want a general overview of where things are located within the old town; but you don’t actually go inside any of the places that the guide points out along the tour. It’s also overpriced in the sense that the Walkative guide literally told us at the beginning of the tour that some people may have booked through a third party like Viator and paid more than other people who booked directly with Walkative and can pay whatever they want at the end of the tour. What communism.

Dreadful experience - Very poor information about where to join your. As a result we missed the walking tour altogether. Nobody contacted us about our whereabouts. A total disaster, would not use this company again!
