“The tour was very well-planned. The tour guide was a total terminator (in a good way)! Despite the cold, she still explained every detail about the Castle District clearly and responded to every question.

“Unable to share a good comment. Never found the guide with a blue jacket. Learn not to ask for directions, everyone direct me to the opposite side. Time lost and left walking to the first tour site. Desperate I call aviator and I was told my tour guide had a blue umbrella. Lost my time and a viator refunded me. Suggestion for everyone, double check with viator exact location, get the proper translation and ask them to describe position of tour guide and umbrella color.”
