So much more than just a transport tour

Sandra W, Jul 2018
This guide was amazing. He gave us a good overview of the whole city and a lot of historical information as well as showing us many means of transport and exactly how to use them. In addition he assisted us with our airport departure planning and also getting to a destination that we needed. We even got to ride on a public boat. This was a quality tour for the money.
