4.00Really interesting tour with great stories and history. Our guide was Tamma who was very knowledgeable and extremely entertaining. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the time - would recommend this to any first timers to the area. Keep in mind most of the tour is at the docks so dress appropriately if it’s chilly.
Good time
