My teen and I had a great time. We enjoy some activity mixed with some down time when we go to a new city, so a semi-structured tour is the best for us. We were able to visit 3 sites and explore on our own while learning with the group as we drove to each destination. The guide was informative, funny, and helpful. I would highly recommend doing this tour.
Great trip, not too long in each place so perfectly timed to see enough but not be waiting round. Our host was lovely and had lots of information for our drive about the city etc! Would defo recommend

Very funny and enjoyable trip !
