5.00We picked up a trishaw once getting through the port buildings. It was easy to do and reasonably priced. We just bought 1 hour ( we wanted to focus on the street art) with extra to bring us back to the ship. Our driver/guide was delightful and he loved posing us for pictures in front of the amazing murals.
Mr Eng is the best
