Beautiful city. - The tour was good. Our driver was fairly new and didn't know much about the area but she tried. She also had her back to us most of the time which made it hard to hear her when she did talk about the places we were coming up to or passing by. The places were beautiful that we could see because it was dark. Wish we could have seen it during the daytime, but not your fault, cruise ship docked late. Zach, the horse was great. Thank you.
