The tour was average - the guide arrived but had to wait around for the Toot Toot driver then had to wait for the boat to arrive who had taken a party out before us. The boat ride was fine but the heritage walk was more about shopping than the history of the old town.
It was a great experience. We felt really comfortable and safe with the guide Hemant. We totally recomend.
