“The tour was great. It was a bit confusing checking in. There are several groups and tours and no one seems to want to help others. Once on the bus it was comfortable and we had headphones for explaining while riding on the bus. It was raining on our tour day so we did not explore as much as we wanted. The bus driver was helpful in offering suggestions or even to take us back if needed.”
The mountains, the water, the food and the city itself — and the best of each.
