    I had a great time on this tour during my layover. I arrived around 16:35 and going through traffic it was dark when I got to both attractions and some of the entrances were closed. I suggest you book your flights to arrive early at least 1pm to be able to see all the attractions and take some great photos. In all my tour guide Victor was very helpful and made sure I got the best out of it.
