For starters, the van did NOT look like that. It was white and older. Some of use thought we were going to be on a colorful bus while others thought they would be on a golf cart looking vehicle. It should be noted that the form of transportation may change based on numbers. The tour guide was very nice and funny, but he needed a microphone. For the cost, I would expect better. I used my Viator points, so my out-of-pocket cost was very low.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed your guide's humor and friendliness. We appreciate your comments about the vehicle and audio, and we'll take them into consideration as we continue improving our guest experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on a future tour.
This was a great experience for us as the tour made everything in the city meaningful. The admission fee is fair and the tour gave us good value for our money. The length of the tour was good at 1 hour 45 mins which gave us ample time to visit many historical and important parts of the city. Our tour guide Mike was excellent. The atmosphere was excellent and we were not over crowded in the bus . However there is need for a clear description and easy location of the pick up zone, the only frustrating part of our tour.
