The tour would have been great but on that day, it would have been better if we had the ability to cancel less than 24hours as it was raining the whole time since we only knew it would rain several hours before the tour. We were going up and down so many stairs in the rain hanging to our umbrellas and holding to the rails if present and we were just so lucky, we didn’t slip and fall.
