Best place for Solo backpacker you will meet a different tourist daily from different countries. It’s hub station for tourists. They conduct a program daily, like sometime city tour, pub crawl, canal tour etc. I’ve enjoyed a lot with Nadia and Kate as a tour guide and they explained each thing very clearly it’s a great tour for me. Thankyou so much mad monkey and special thanks to Nadia and Kate for conducting everything super smooth. ♥️
