    Great tour

    Trip was very informative. Each guide giving different perspectives Of the city. The younger guide had a great sense of humor . Would recommend only English spoken and other languages be on audio as done in Europe. Makes it difficult for tour guide to explain what we see and has to rush thru the information to again explain in French. Must commend all our guides they wereveryhelpful.
