“It started out terrible because the bus broke down. Another bus was dispatched and the rest of day was AMAZING!! It's funny seeing quite people turn into party animals when the alcohol kicks in. Book this tour, you will not regret it. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is not because of the bus breaking down but because of the first bar we stopped at...Cafe O8O. The bartender lady with the glasses was very rude to my wife. Do not get the happy hour drinks because they are watered down...get the shots. The second and third bar on the tour was EPIC!!”
