Our guide was accommodating and knowledgeable, everything was tailored to our needs and interests. We had space to ask all the questions we wanted, and she took pictures of us in the best spots. Please take this tour! It’s pricey but not that much pricier than a fast track ticket with elevator to the top, which is included in this.”
