Do not book unless 100% weather is clear - Do not schedule this unless you are POSITIVE the weather will be good. It was raining and they would only refund half. We waited hoping it might clear up. But at the time for the tour it was pouring rain. Weather looked ok 24 hours out, but walking tour in pouring rain does not make sense. 50% refund is not accept. I was punished for booking ahead. Don’t make my mistake.
