“Overall a good experience, we found the tour guide a little ’wordy’ too much information at times, but her knowledge and insight were useful. Walking the route in our late 60’s was not an issue, we’re pretty fit. In January it was very cool and windy (unusual for the season). I recommend to wear a backpack and layer up and take off clothes if you’re too warm. We parked in a very nice underground parkade close to Planet Hollywood, 15 minutes walk to tour start/stop from parking. After the tour we walked the streets had a nice late tapas lunch.”
