Originalmente era el tour de compras pero terminó siendo una mezcla con City tour que estuvo bien. Le doy 4.5 de 5 porque hubiera estado bien hacer full compras pero aún así la guía fue muy linda y atenta

Charlie war sehr offen und freundlich. Ich hatte auch gleich meine erste Busfahrt mit ihm zu einem Markt im Norden der Stadt und er brachte mich wieder zurück, obwohl die Tour auf dem Markt endete.
