Was very happy with the tour. Would have rated it a 5 but we were in the back of the e-cart facing backwards, which didn’t bother us except we could hear the tour guide very well. Liked the the tour guide as he offered to take our picture and also drop us off at the Metro station which made it easy for us to get back to the hotel.
