Jerry did a great job but we had folks that wouldn’t shut up so it was difficult to hear him. He was doing the best he could. One thing that we thought is not to have the music playing while he was talking because it was hard to hear him at times.

Just ok

Would say just ok. Jerry wasn’t at all engaging. Didn’t communicate with guests. Monotone and hill top view of city was nothing to brag about. It was just “ok”. Don’t feel it was worth the cost.

Informative but...

While Garret, our driver and guide was very informative, the areas we covered were not impressive. Particularly dissatisfied with our "10 minute stop" at a very dark park over looking the city! Here we were told to "use the buddy system" and not stray too far. Also got the feeling that the park restroom may be occupied with homeless or transients.Kind of a use at your own risk thing.

Impossible Location

I have requested refund. The pickup is impossible to find and they cannot be reached for help. I booked through VIATOR and they requested the refund because they could not reach them either.
