L’idée de faire visiter la ville en voiturette de golf est géniale. D’ailleurs, on en croise à tous les coins de rue. Un point à souligner: les chauffeurs, le nôtre compris, conduisent très bien. Nous avons pu visiter 3 quartiers emblématiques que nous n’aurions pas pu faire à pied. L’audioguide donnait des informations historiques complètes que notre chauffeur agrémentait d’anecdotes intéressantes. Une activité à faire absolument.

I really liked everything, everything was perfectly organized, informative. We arrived independently, but the meeting place was clearly indicated, everything was on time.

Excellent activity and insightful – a must. Guide was humorous and well worth doing with a guide. We booked an uber as fairly cheap and reliable and can track location. Lots of stairs down but down not too bad as it’s down not up, as go deep into salt mines and no stairs back up and lots of older people doing tour. Wouldn’t recommend if have mobility issues due to stairs but you don’t have to be extra fit or anything. So glad I’ve done this

Interesting place, incredible features to see. All ran well apart from some of the senior members of the group getting lost on the way back to the coach. Would recommend.
