    Interesting spots within the city but a little dirty and gives a sense of insecurity I think he lacked more explanation.

    City bus tour aggregated with other city tours sold elsewhere under different names and pricing can cause confusion. Our tour guide, Paco, was very informative but not a cat herder and on our we had many cats, passengers who don't listen or respect others, mostly by not returning to the bus on time. Perhaps more time should be allocated to each stop for people to go to the bathroom, etc.
