Entertaining and informative! - The driver was fun and gave us great information and stories. Good driver on such narrow streets. We highly recommend! The only suggestion would be to have a better description of the meeting location.

No patients - Bad communication and no refund. I contacted the company for where the bus was due to my first time after parking and they didn’t offer for the bus to wait 3 min. As we were approaching the bus they pulled off.
