Great tour at your own pace - Loved that I could take the tour at my own pace. The tour guide spoke clearly and made the narrative interesting.

Fine, but but particularly necessary - Easy to figure out. Tour guide was great and approachable, but some of the main stops weren't in the tour. Also, most of the tour info was things we already knew. I was going for some interesting and obscure facts, but they were brief descriptions of the sites and my children lost interest. I did like that we could go at our own pace and stop along the way, but I didn't necessarily feel that we profited much from the tour. Fortunately, it was very reasonable, so I was fine with the amount we spent on it.
