This company has terrible service. The location spot is confusing and chaotic. It is not worth the money. Just get the ticket and go yourself this is a money hungry, scam company with no customer service. Do not expect any refund, even though the website says refunds are available. I wouldn't wise this company again. Other reputable companies around like city tours and others.

Oscar was amazing, you will not be disappointed if you book this tour. Oscar was extremely knowledgeable & entertaining. We moved fast enough to not be bored & slow enough to take pictures & hear the stories that made the pictures I took come to life. 10/10 I highly recommend this tour
