Our guide, Anik, arrived on time and took the time to explain everything clearly. He was knowledgeable, patient, and very friendly. We really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend him.
Buy your tickets for this event online. Do not waste your money on a Viator tour. You get a 10 minute explanation of the building but you can read that inside the tower yourself. The guide made us leave a review before he would send the tickets. So of course thinking he would join us I gave a high rating and then he transferred the tickets and left!
Great information. Lots to see
