Notes
This is a private tour. Please consider that after the tour it won’t be necessary to have lunch or dinner. I suggest to start no later than 11:00am in the morning and no later than 5:00pm in the afternoon. Please consider that from 1:00pm to 4:00pm most of the shops will be closed for “siesta” time. On Sundays and bank holidays most of the shops and food stands of the medieval market are closed. In winter time sunset is at about 4:30pm.
