"I had a fabulous time, the tour guides were excellent. I enjoyed the extensive knowledge the tour guides shared. I was impressed with the English of the tour guides, they did an excellent job. I look forward to my next tour! My only criticism was the lunch, it wasn't for me but it didn't ruin my day:) "
