The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We met at the meeting point. We met at the main plaza in front of the opera house. He was very helpful. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. We didn’t have to wait in line at all—there were long lines, but we didn’t have to wait. We highly recommend it.
