Suzanne has a real passion for landscape design of this type and was able to explain the zoo and other aspects of the grounds in the context of the culture at that time. The second half of the tour, of the palace and its artwork, was also very educational.”

“I regret to say that I did not enjoy this event due to unforeseen difficulties. Despite paying $125.64, I was unable to load the voucher. I attempted to communicate with the Big Bus staff, but unfortunately, they did not speak English, and showing them the confirmation number did not resolve the issue. I subsequently contacted the tour operator via text message, and although they provided instructions, the problem persisted. The issue was escalated to multiple tour operators, with the exception of the last one, who was extremely helpful in resolving my concerns. Regrettably, I did not receive the voucher for this particular booking (number 1195713165), and as a result, I…”
