The price was perfect, and we were picked up by a driver at our hotel, saving us transportation cost. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We met 2 other tourists on this tour and had a wonderful time!
We were able to customize the tour; the guide asked us as a group what we were most interested in seeing and we were able to spend as much time in each place as we liked.
Our group visited the castle, which was very interesting. You pay to take photos and to enter, but the cost is minimal; we split the amount in our group and shared photos. We also visited a few beautiful government buildings, but did not go inside.
The botanical garden was quite different than what I expected, and very interesting and beautiful. They were preparing for a holiday, so the greenhouse was COVERED in beautiful flowers. We got to try a local drink made at a stall there and ate at a local restaurant, which was delicious!
The shopping district streets are FULL of stalls, shops, and wandering salespeople. Anything you could want to get, you'll find it there. Our guide was very helpful in bargaining for us.
Overall we had a ton of fun on this trip and saw a good amount of the city. It does require walking, but nothing too strenuous. It is loosely structured and you can really make the most of your tour.
If you like to be on a regimented schedule, this probably isn't the one for you. But if you are looking to see many sights and get a feel for culture and people, this is a great place to do it!
