Brilliant day, travelling through this historic and interesting city in an old fire truck. Our guide was only a young man but was fully clued-up on everything we saw AND polite and funny, too. We were lucky, as this was one of the last tours of the year - the end of October - and it was one would have hated to miss. Fully recommended to everyone: if you get a chance, book this excursion 😎
