We had a great experience at the water town. The tour was great with easy and comfortable transportation and a great guide. Only gave 4 stars because I felt like there wasn’t as much historical information shared about water towns and that we probably didn’t actually need a tour guide for what we did. However, Annie was fantastic and definitely brought certain aspects to life as well as suggested the better vendors for souvenirs. Had a great time.
