Very informative and entertaining. Some neighborhood kids were messing around before the tour but the staff dealt with it promptly. Overall, we had a great time.

A little hard to see and even tracking which building is which in the dark is difficult with so many descriptions. Was a nice night so good to tour the town. Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. There is no place at all to go to the restroom on the trip, so plan well.

Fun tour with so much information about the sites and history. Tour started before dusk (August) and were able to see many of the sites while still light outside. As the sun sets the city lights up beautifully highlighting historical buildings and statues. This was our 1st tour of the city and helped orient us and decide which sites we wanted to visit the following day. Great tour!
