“Directions to the site were written very poorly. Other tours post a link for sections that lead you’ll to the exact spot you should gather. City Tours fails to do this and I’ve missed to my events because I used the directions provided in the information in the email. DO NOT BOOK ANY TOURS WITH CITY TOURS!!”

We were able to see some highlights, and then have free time to see some of the things he recommended for a deeper dive from the highlights. He was excellent!!”
