The tours (3) went all around the most popular tourist attractions. Stopped conveniently outside or close by to them. I was able to take all 3 options over 3 days which made sure I could visit places I really was interested in. I also completed the boat tour which I highly recommend as well.

The river tour was a really good way to see around the city from the water. However, DO NO BOOK HERE! It is half the price to book at the kiosk when you arrive at the departure point. Very disappointing

I’d say this tour was one of the best tours I have been on. Really informative and the tour guide was excellent. Great sense of humour too!

Highly entertaining and informative. Take in all the essential sites.

Great boat trip with very informative guide. Would reccomend
