“It was a rainy day - this was the perfect way to see the city! We got to see all the major highlights with a few opportunities to get out and take pictures. We learned a lot about the city both very historically and in a modern perspective. We went all the way to see the ocean which was cool but maybe not necessary - but perhaps because the town is small and we covered it all so fast. We got dropped off out our hotel at the end which was a nice touch.”
