As a result, we had to purchase a more expensive option that included a river cruise we had already done. This last-minute cancellation disrupted our plans and forced us to adjust our schedule at an additional cost. Very frustrating.”

We took them and I was very happy with the alternate plan. Chris and Sally did a great job with the night tour and in 19 degree weather we were able to experience a full tour of the city and key spots that I didn’t know we could have under those circumstances. I had a 10 year old and we were not disappointed with our trip thanks to them. Next time…”
