3.00The tour was fast and not really informative. It was hard to understand. The trip seems to happen very fast. I must say it was cold and you would want to seat at the top for pictures and better view

5.00We started the tour at 6:30 pm and the sun was just beginning to set. There were only 2 other people on the tour so it felt like a private tour. Sol was a great guide and provided just the right amount or commentary. Definitely recommend!

3.00Older bus. No headphones. One guide repeating comments in English then Spanish …. but spending significantly more time with the Spanish commentary. Not On/Off.

5.00Easy way to view the city and become acclimated to the areas and see farther away areas that you may not have the time to walk to.
