Took this tour with my 15 YO who is interested in finance and economics. Teen reported it was his favorite walking tour he's ever gone on (keeping in mind we travel internationally year round and do a ton of walking tours). Guide was knowledgeable, thorough and organized. Definitely recommend. This tour was different and better than an "insider tour" by a totally different tour company I previously did by myself.
