Interesting and informative tour
The tour is very interesting. We would recommend. We were expecting the power station tour to be longer but it was still enjoyable. We appreciated our guide keeping to schedule and we weren't too late returning back, although he spoke way too fast and we had trouble understanding alot of his commentary.
