Wonderful Experience! - This experience was great. I landed at 1:30 pm. and hit the ground running with this tour at 4:30pm. It gave me and idea of where things where in the city and I enjoyed the history and beauty of Old Town. I recommend doing this tour first, because it helps you get your bearings and knowledge of the area. ✨
