What to expect
Expect a relaxed pace suited to young legs, with frequent stops so children can take in each landmark without fatigue. Your guide weaves tales of merchants, explorers, and the city's engineering feats into conversation, punctuating facts with questions and games that keep attention sharp. You'll move through crowded squares and narrow calli (alleyways), so staying close to your guide is important. The tour covers roughly 2 kilometres, mostly on flat ground, though some passages are tight.
