“Went on this tour as a family of five ( kids are 12, 7, 5 years old). Would have preferred a slightly shorter tour or an earlier start time, as 4 hours was a bit long for them (and 10-2 is a bit awkward over the lunch hour for kids) but it was a fantastic way to fit in the main highlights. We would not have been able to walk to see everything, and we would not have been able to fit in as much on our own. It was a warm day, and the comfortable air conditioned bus was perfect for quick on and off, and everything was very…”

“This was advertised as COVERED, and the photo is a beautiful Ecart. I specifically booked this experience - as opposed to others - for those reasons. What is shown and described is not AT ALL what you get. It looked nothing whatsoever like that, and there was also no cover! It was absolutely freezing and very windy! Had this been properly advertised, I never would have chosen it. Also, the tour guide was not at all into it! I do NOT recommend this experience. I would give it 0 stars if I could.”
