    Good, but buses very full and in one bus the audio didn't work

    loved Erica our driver for half the tour but then shift switched and the man who took her place was rude, impatient and unfriendly. The entire vibe changed. The tour was not as informative as I had hoped and overall took way too long. Would not do again
