5.00This is the perfect way to ensure you make your way around to all the places you might otherwise have missed in the downtown area. Every corner there is something interesting so having this local guide tour really helps clarify things. Our guide Ben was great. He added so much color to all the stops on the tour and made great suggestions on things to do the whole way.
