What travelers are saying
- Sandy WVancouver, Canada1,925 contributionsI have three words: Take The Tour. The box office opened at 1 PM and we were able to take the first English tour at 2PM. We were a large group but the tour was excellent. I won't give it all away but you'll get some surprises during it. It was great fun and lasted an hour. The two hosts were excellent! Reasonably priced, too.
