“This was a great tour! My tour guide Dre and driver Tanya were awesome and their banter was entertaining. They were super knowledgeable and I learned a lot. The stops at each location are fairly short but it’s enough to get the basics. My one disappointment was the off season replacement for the river cruise is a stop at a shopping mall for 90 minutes (that’s the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5). But still a great way to see and learn about the city for the first time! Highly recommend!”
