“Tanja was a lovely guide. We enjoyed our walk through time. She was very knowledgeable and lived her town. She was also very accommodating and understanding when we started to tire towards the end after days of walking and standing. The sites and Old Town are beautiful, and I don’t feel we would have known the whole story had we not taken this tour.”
