Kinda warm, can't take pictures, our tour had a lot of older people and there is quite a bit of stair climbing and uneven walking surfaces that slowed things down significantly.”

Our tour guide, Anita, was phenomenal and made sure we had an unforgettable experience. She was pleasant and extremely knowledgeable the entirety of our tour.
