Great introductory tour of the heart of the city. We very much enjoyed our guide's local expertise and tips on how to navigate the city. It was a great first tour for my son's first trip to the city.

Area was experiencing severe thunder and lightning storms (in fact the airport, and I’ll public transportation have been stopped due to the weather ) Subway was closed and traffic was at a standstill, so no way to get to the site for the start of the tour. Reached out to the tour guide who informed me that even though the weather was bad, there was no way to cancel and get a refund. Doubt I’ll be using this booking service again.
