5.00Overall a great tour and experience. The start was unorganized as probably a thousand people all met at a tiny office and there was little direction. There was a long line that no one knew if we actually had to wait in. Eventually we where told to find a certain color sticker and after our tour guide started it was great.
Wonderful
