This tour is actually split into 2 x 2 hour tours on big buses. I prefer the smaller buses, so was not a fan of this tour. Could have spent less time at the observatory and maybe more time at the zoo stop. I would not recommend this tour.

Too long on the bus, needed more stops. After paying for this trip, found out the real trip I wanted was offered at the pick up location. Make sure you get what you want before paying for it.

It was terrible. The guide read from paper and did not take any contact with his passengers. The tour was 2-part and many people came on the bus to part 2 and he guide repeated a lot.
