The guide was nice, but it contributed very little in terms of perspective or information This supposedly was to be done throughout helmets, but we found this inappropriate method The story was rather general and not monitoring visit and tell us what we see and context behind a guided tour on the helmet would have greatly enhanced the tour.
Great tour guide and very happy with the gray line themin We continued to use Iceland as well, and again very happy.
The city tour was canceled due to Carnival All we got was a bus trip to Sugar Loaf and the hotel certainly it was known at the time of booking soPrice should have been reduced very disappointing .
