The tour guide was very thoughtful... - <p>The tour guide was very thoughtful to begin the tour slightly later than scheduled after she found out that I had arrived late the previous night. The conduct of the tour was smooth, and the guide had an excellent command of the English language. She was also very knowledgeable. An overall excellent tour!</p>
