Not necessary to buy the tour

3.00It’s not necessary to buy the tour. First you have to pay $15 to park at the hotel meeting point. Then, you lose a LOT of time waiting for all parties of the tour group to arrive. Then talking and slowly walking with the smallest bit of real history. Then the guide doesn’t go on the boat. So again when you are done there is a bunch of waiting and gathering. Just buy your ticket yourself.
