All was great with the tour my only suggestion is maybe look into booking people with little children on a tour with families. Don't get me wrong love my kids and grandchildren but when I pay good money for a tour and you have a baby crying or screaming it sort of ruins your experience.

We appreciated the organization of the trip and how the guide tried to keep everyone together at the meeting spots but we also appreciated that if someone wasn’t there in time, we waited 5 minutes and then we continued. It was a good day!

It was a lot to fit in with seeing 4 amazing places. A bit more time would have been nice in each town, however 12 hours is a long enough day. 3 places may make it less rushed of a day

Marco and his team were awesome from start to finish. He even escorted us to find the tram home!

Awesome so we forgot a black hat how can we recover it?
