We expected to go into the city centre to be told about the main attractions but instead were over the moon to be taken from the fort into some of the back lanes and out of the way spots. He kept us entertained with facts and stories for the whole 2 hrs. It really felt like we were taken on a local tour and were discovering secret gems of places including a stop where we bought the most delicious coffee. This was a really good experience walking tour that I would highly recommend.”
