The promised 15 person trip turned out to be 19 people . 2 needed to sit on the jump seats . Several agencies were represented . Some paid 50.00 . Viator charged 70.00pp. So those paying more felt Ripped off. Guide was funny and informative. 3 pm was a little late for lunch.
Great tour, very interactive. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept the tour group engaged.
Trip focused on shopping. Sights in little time.
