“It was a wonderful experience, but the tour guide really makes or breaks this activity, unfortunately our tour guide was not very exciting. We enjoyed the walking tour, being able to go to places we would not have gone otherwise, but wish our tour guide was a little bit more engaging. Yet there are many different tour guides, so hopefully this was just one average example. Loved going on the gondola! That was an awesome experience for us!”
