Great for convenience, get a lot of bang for your buck. Easy to see multiple sites if you don’t want to spend too much time at each. Our tour guide was very soft spoken, difficult to hear when not on intercom in the bus. While sweet and seemingly kind, she was not dynamic and added no interest or humor to the basic information that she provided. I’ll give her that she had to present twice, in English and in Spanish, which may have interrupted her normal flow. Overall, a worthwhile excursion for our needs.

My son and I had a great time on this tour! I would recommend that if you go with a small child to make sure you have someone else with you. The tour can be a bit fast paced when you have to constantly change a small one!
