The tour was great, we went to the meeting point and met our guide Gloria, who was really nice and explained everything to us. We ended up being just a small group of 5 so the tour was relaxing and felt very private. We walked around the cathedral and then the Jewish quarters.

Our group of 4 adults from US are very glad we booked a guided tour option and had Sariya (not sure of spelling of her name). She is an archeologist with incredible knowledge of this historical site with details we would not have learned from an audio guide. She said she loves her job and it was clearly evident: she was enthusiastic with a love of teaching people facts to describe this UNESCO site. Well done!
