“We had a terrific time on the tour. Mehgan was an animated guide with a wealth of information on the area. Of course we would have walked right by some interesting buildings and history without noticing many of the details. Highly recommended from someone who is usually not too enthusiastic about tours. Good to take the tour early in your stay if you are a visitor as there are good lunch and dinner suggestions”
