Vi valgte en guidet byrundtur. Det var en god beslutning. Fantastisk guide. Vi fik så meget at vide om historien, bygningerne og om byen, som vi aldrig ellers kunne tilegne os. Guiden Alfons var helt eminent og uovertruffen. Så begejstret og engageret, vidende og meget morsom også. D Han gav os den allerbedste oplevelse på vores tur. Det var endda regnvejr, men det fik han os næsten til at glemme. Stor tak til Alfons.
