My reviews

Maxel delivered a walking tour that was worth every minute. He knew the history and the local context, but more importantly he made the city feel alive. He set the pace, checked in often, and adjusted the route based on our interests without wasting time. He balanced deep knowledge with humor and personal stories that made the experience feel genuine. If you want a tour that shows both the iconic spots and the hidden corners most people overlook, he is the person to book. My recommendation is to book Maxel early, wear comfortable shoes, and arrive with a few questions or themes you want to learn about. He is excellent at curating the experience around what you care about. You will walk away with a better understanding of the city, great recommendations, and a few stories that will stick with you. I would absolutely book with him again.

The tailed tour, the direct connections with the guide. It is well worth the time and money to get what we need. The private tour set apart from the group tour.
