Замечательная экскурсия. Всё чётко и доступно. Узнали много интересного. Мимо некоторых мест проходили не раз, но не замечали, сколько там интересного. С наушниками очень удобно, не мешает шум улицы, чувствуешь себя очень свободно. Особенно хочется поблагодарить нашего гида Ларису, за внимательность, отзывчивость и интересный маршрут.
