Our guide, Goran, was good, very knowledgeable about the history of the wall and the city.

He also spoke about the war which was informative and interesting...his personal insights and stories as a survivor added a different perspective. We empathized with his experience and understood his frustration and anger about the war. However we felt that this part of the tour went too…”
