The guide, driver, and guitarist were great! I learned a ton about the city and the double decker bus ride was a little thrilling—-an extra perk! ???? There’s only a couple things I would note—-we didn’t know until the end that a separate shuttle was going to bring us back to our hotel (not a big deal). We also didn’t spend more than 15-20 minutes in the Central Market (understandable with the schedule, but disappointing nonetheless) and were ushered into a very specific vendor stall. It was clear they had an arrangement and although the souvenirs were nice, we could find the same at the hotel and airport gift shops for a similar price. It would have been nice to wander a little more and be able to purchase from other vendors. Lastly, lunch was included and was pretty good, despite it being a bubble tea house.
All in all, it was a great way to spend the day. The museums and sights were beautiful and the guide provided a wealth of history. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone! Thanks again for a great day!
