I liked the air fine headset connection. Being that it was a Saturday, all of the areas were quite crowded. There’s no way to control that and said there’s no reason to change your policy on ratios of guide to clients. It just was a busy day

Great tour guide, lots of interesting information and nice because you don’t have to wait. Quite a few stairs to climb so be aware of that. Sometimes a bit hard to hear the guide because the it was quite loud and the group quite big but it was okay.
