This is a terrible tour. The cost is outrageous for this 2 hr tour. First this is not the fault of our guide. She was wonderful and did what she was told to do. The tour is just a walk about through a large city, with zero stops in parks, gardens, historical monuments, coffee shops, ect.. The drop off point is NOT the starting point as advertised. It is a few miles away and we had to take a tram back which was also a disaster as we had no ticket and it would only take 1 charge card per person, my wife had no card. The guide had no idea she was to take us back but she did when I showed her the print out. DO NOT SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS TOUR. IT IS TERRIBLY OVERPRICED.AURORA_H
