Tour guide Debbie was fantastic. Great info and great photo ops. The major downside was the overwhelming rudeness of others not listening to Debbie when she said there’s no bad seats just seats. The other guests crowded the rails blocking the view of everyone else seated. They stood there taking photo after photo despite the requests to move so that others can see. Clearly the rules of etiquette are different in their country.

I feel bad because I would absolutely give it a 5 star experience because it was not the tours fault but there was a very large group of foreign tourists who weren’t able to follow simple directions such as “don’t use your umbrellas” or “please sit down” and they were in our personal space trying to get pictures the whole time. It was hard to hear the nice guy doing the commentary or enjoy the scenery with people all shoving up in your space to get a zillion pictures. Weather was crummy but not the fault of anyone either. Loved the sites we did get to see. Again, would recommend if you bring your patience for the possibility of rude tourists.
