The walk itself was very comfortable and easy. No steep hills or stairs to climb. The highlighted stops were very interesting but since I went on a Saturday some of the buildings were not open to go inside. There is a voluntary but entertaining quiz after each site where you can answer the questions based on information you can observe from the location that you are at. I did have a slight problem starting my tour because the instructions were not very intuitive for me. I ended up having to call the tour operator who was very professional, understanding and kind, and he helped me start my walking tour from the meeting point. Make sure you exchange your ticket for a voucher, take the voucher ID number, go to their website, enter the voucher ID number and your email and your tour will start. That information was not clear in the initial directions. All in all, I highly suggest this walking tour.
