California

Where comfortable shoes due to rocky, and uneven terrain throughout the site. Amazing that there is so much of a city intact.

This was such a great...

This was such a great experience. It’s a HUGE city and this tour gives you the 2 hour brief highlights (PERFECT for those who lose interest or grow tired beyond a few hours). You get the history and the fun, but since the city is huge, it would be so hard to navigate and enjoy alone. Do this trip!! And our guide, I believe her name was Marilyn & I apologize if I’m incorrect, was so fun and great at her job!! Loved it

Great tour with Paolo

It was easy to get our tickets, and the guide was great. Paulo did an excellent job showing us around, and besides informative was also engaging.
