“Minivan was a little tight but understandable due to the marathon (perhaps don’t offer a tour during marathon). I did like the small group size and the flexibility of the driver and guide to switch up the order of the tour and to always have a plan B at the ready. Hard to see all of the sites, especially if you are sitting in the middle of the minivan. Great tour guide, very friendly and knowledge - able to communicate in multiple languages.
