- Think Da -Vinci Code.
- Need a guide.
“This was one of the most interesting tours I have ever seen. It is much better with a guide. Ask for Bob and plan ahead. He used to be there all the time. But now you have to ask for someone. I know that some of the city tours include this it is a must and so fascinating.”
