Walking tour review

My friend and I went on the walking tour with Marik. It was a very pleasant activity. We talked around some notable spots and learned about their significance to the city history and culture today. We went in the morning, so it set us up for activity planning for later in the day. He learned our names and gave us travel tips for the city as well! Would recommend :)
