Have written guide sheets for the hearing impaired. So we don’t miss out too much of what was being said Also mention that written guides are available when booking for the tour, it may attract the hearing impaired as they tend to decline these sort of tours.

Awesome crew! Loved the 9pm tour less people and amazing lite up skyline views!

Very entertaining, funny guide. Would have liked to have gone longer

This is worth every penny. If you are considering it. Just do it

We did the trip at 8pm. Great view of the city and sunset.
