Alex was outstanding and extremely knowledgeable. Very helpful. Having only a day to visit he was the gold standard and we got to know SA intimately. Definitely an asset to the operator.

All points were extremely interesting and informative. However, the seating was cramped for ten passengers. Need a bigger mode of transportation.

I recommend this relaxing full day tour. Sit back and enjoy the city highlights while Alex dies the navigation. The lunch reservation he made was excellent.
