Tour guide was amazing! The catacombs were a favorite item for me! The fort where the famous lighthouse used to stand is also very beautiful! Had tea with the locals was fun!
We had hard time understanding English. We felt the tour guide was very superficial and narrated minimum
Driver was a good driver, but it says 10 to 12 hours, is not, it is only 10 hours. Is a great city to visit
