I highly recommend sunglasses for the 6pm show (my own fault). Ruth was fantastic, very knowledgeable. Lots to pack in to 90 mins but I’m so glad I did it.

I loved how the guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the history and the sites! It was hard to see much once it got dark, though.

Enjoyed it very much. Guide was very knowledgeable, personable and everyone gets a seat up top. Disappointing that there was not a good view of the skyline.
