“It was billed as 75 mins of night tour. it was 59 mins. The earphones worked in one ear. The plug in didnt follow the instructions (said English was number 2 and it was 8, but you could hear another language in the background.) The music in the in-between was very loud. The drive didnt allow even for a few seconds slow down to get pictures of the sites. it also had to be the same tour track and during day with the Hop on Hop off and was not in anyway cued for a night tour. All visotrs sat upstaurs and both staff stayed downstairs.Very let down.”
