“Too rushed”
This tour was fine in terms of facts but we had the feeling that our guide didn't really feel like it. It was all told in a rushed manner and at some nice stops we could hardly take pictures. The guide had also walked away and left 1/3 of the group behind. The tour also lasted a lot shorter than indicated. We had the idea that he wanted to be done quickly. Too bad...

We had a great time with Mati, he was really nice, explained very well and was more than interesting. The tour lasted about 2h30 and everything went good, we had time to take pictures during all the visit and had a break near the Fisherman's bastion to have a look at the stunning view and grab some drinks or snacks if wanted.
Between historical stories, anecdotes and advices in the city, we didn't felt the time passing. I recommend !
