Good tour but don't expect "evening"
Jerry_G
, Aug 2020
"Evening" is a misnomer during daylight saving time. The tour leaves at 6:00 p.m. year-round. Nevertheless the driver was very knowledgeable and interesting and didn't cut back any even though we were the only couple on the carriage. The sites were mostly different from the earlier tours with a minimum of duplication. A good way to scout out a restaurant for your evening meal.
