Personalized tour with a great guide. - Had a fantastic time on this personalized tour, it was me and my wife with our tour guide Javier. He provided an excellent experience showing us around the area up the top of the hill with insight in the Arab quarter and cave houses where the gypsies live. We had a blast. Thanks Javier.
