The tour was great. Guide Dani is also awesome, he shared a lot of interesting information and history facts. Be prepared that the tour is something like preview tour. In some places we didn't have enough free time but we were ready for it based on the feedbacks. In general, we are happy with this tour and I would recommend it.
