My confirmation info, which I forwarded to the company, when they did not comply with the agreement, clearly said there was a pick up at the hotel at 1:oo pm. They did not show up, instead Catherine change the terms. Was terrible, unfair, confusing to say the least. NEVER AGAIN. All the written communication was extremely confusing
Amazing and seamless...

Amazing and seamless experience. Sonia met us at the pickup location and even brought us to grab a coffee since it was so cold out. It was a short walk to the ID check-in point (don't forget your passports) before entering. Sonia had a breadth of knowledge and was able to answer all of our questions. She was able to show us some secret parts as well that the larger group couldn't. 10/10 experience, thank you Sonia!

It was easy to enter to the places by scanning our passport but the queue was way too long. We didn’t manage to walk the entire place or sit in any of the cafe (if there is any?). Was quite rush overall.

Wonderful experience. Our guide May was exceptional. We learned so much from her. She picked us up from the hotel and we took the Subway there. Lots of walking. Wear comfortable shoes.
