This tour is a must if you want to have excellent tour. we originally had low expectations but by the end of it, my wife and I both agreed it was one of our best decisions in the city. Our tour guide outdid himself; he was knowledgeable and had very good English. I could not believe how much I learned about tour, Will recommend.

This tour seemed to be the best choice. They were easy to communicate the months before our trip. Our guide was so informative and interesting. I think the important thing about doing private tours in general is to have a guide separately. It brings much more to the tour.
