Boring find a better tour. Waste of time. Very long winded and the title of the tour is misleading. We left half way through bc it was so disappointing.
Wonderful experience

Wonderful tour guide, he spoke very clearly and loudly enough that all of the group could hear and he made sure we were all together before he spoke. He had a lot to say and it was all very interesting.
