“My tour was excellent with historian and guide Cris. We viewed the famous East Wall mural artworks and learnt about the artists and their motivations, the historic events leading up to their creation and their cultural significance. Cris gave much of his expert historic and cultural information, answered any questions I had and we exchanged views and information along the way. I’d highly recommend Cris’ walking tour if you are looking to experience or research further another more specific area which I did also following this tour. Well worth the cost and value for money considering all the information given and the many sites of interest we visited.”
