The only negative was that we were not offered water or other non-alcoholic drinks for the first almost 2 hours of the tour. We stopped along the way and bought our own. By the time we got to the pizza restaurant, we asked the guide for water - how can you walk the city and eat all this food without drinking anything? We were given four small bottles for the 7 of us to share.”
