You can wear your flip flops around as each ride has a place where you can leave your shoes. The cashless system works really well and if you have any money left of in it they give you a cash refund at the end. Safety is taken seriously which we found really reassuring. Very well run and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We were unsure about going initially but were so glad that we did.”

The tour ended in Old Town right as the market was setting up and in a convenient location to take a stroll in and out if you like. I can’t speak highly enough of Gigi. She was a great guide.”
