We had a fantastic day with our guide John. He was so knowledgeable and experienced. We were able to see the major sites in a short period of time. I would highly recommend the tour especially if you arrive in the ship port as they meet you there! It was wonderful to be dropped back off there too!
John did a fantastic job. He is so knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this tour. It was especially nice to be picked up and returned to the ship.
