The hotel pick-up and drop-off were super convenient, and the tour was interesting, informative, and fun it even kept our teenage sons engaged the whole time. The tour lasts about 5–6 hours, covers all the key spots, and gives enough time for the two museums. Great value for money, and we also enjoyed lunch at Panorama Hotel. Highly recommended thank you !”
