Everything went wonderfully until we were asked to change buses at the marina without warning and for no reason. Unfortunately, the bus was so full that we couldn't find any seats on the upper deck. What a shame!

I like the tour very much but what I most liked was the assistance received in each stop! Makes a big difference when you have a personal care to answer all the questions tourists have during the tour!!! We feel comfortable and confidente!!!

Visited this location a second time, but now in the evening. The spectacle is not to be forgotten! The fountains start working at 18:00, as well as the sunset from the height of 124-125 floors - it's a must see!
