C is a city that deserves its reputation, take the time to discover to understand why she was so coveted and so beautifully adorned with beautiful buildings. We did the tour with a guide, this lasted a little more than 4 hours but we n have not seen the time spent. With a mild temperatures and sunshine that has allowed to take beautiful pictures. Not to be missed and if you can with a prodessinnel guide you will not regret.
