A nice way to see the park but I would like to know more about the park itself rather than movies that were made there. - Find out exactly where you are supposed to meet the pedicab because we had a bit of a hard time finding ours.

Definitely recommend! - Very friendly guide who was very knowledgeable about what movies, shows etc were filmed in different parts of the park. A little difficult to hear him at times, but very helpful and stopped for good photo opportunities- would definitely recommend it as a more relaxing way to see a large amount of the park!
