“Perfect tour of a charming city”
Our guide was amazing!! We had a wonderful full day strolling along the canal, shopping the small shops and then we saw the beautiful view from both Tenguyama and another secret view location he knew of. He was so responsive to all of our requests and went out of his way to make our day special.
