Sheena was wonderful, she had a wealth of knowledge about the city and stayed long enough in each place till we were satisfied and then moved on. There were some things that we cut out because we wanted longer in some places than others and she was very obliging. We had a great time with her and we think we saw the important places that were on our bucket list. Sheena even helped us with the tram and explain to us how to use it, which was extremely helpful. Definitely would recommend this tour with her.
