Poor customer service+ Beautiful historical building, very comfortable rooms, outstanding staff− They highly recommend to do the city tour (as they told us, it was the only place we could do it and it was a must). We hired it and it was just terrible, 50$ two people, the guide must have...

It doesn’t come cheap, and at this price point you should be able to open your suitcase and...
