Booking in advance made planning my trip a breeze! Since I booked at the last minute, the only available time slot was the 5:30 PM tour. I used that as my starting point to decide on my departure time and sightseeing schedule, and was able to plan the perfect day! There are so many places to visit in Europe that this was surely my first and last chance. I had a truly satisfying day!
