We liked the skip the line but were astounded and very disappointed that you had to be separated from the tour due to being in a wheelchair. We were never told in advance that taking the tour when in a wheelchair wasn’t possible. We had to go on our own with a device that was ineffective. Numbering system was inaccurate and sometimes numbers didn’t exist. I beg you to find ways to be more inclusive for those with disabilities.

Tour guide never showed up for our tour, eventually after waiting 1 hour another person showed up and explained the owner had an emergency and he was filling in. Terrible communication while we waited over an hour. Use another company, there are plenty of options.
