Seemed the captain needed a break to have a cigarette before his next tour which would have been okay but we had a museum time slot booked which made us anxious but we made it after all. The tour guide was nice but a little awkward and didn’t seem to have a clear set plan to explain everything. The tour had unlimited food and drinks…. Option, key word here. Many of us did not select the option and thought it was included which is our bad but knowing it was more than just our group…”
