Fantastic 5.0
Although the tour was a bit pricey without any promotion and felt a little rushed since we had to cover all the spots in just one day, we really enjoyed the trip thanks to Carlos — a very energetic, humorous, and knowledgeable tour guide.

Great 4.0
Itinerary: Lunch on both the first and second days is scheduled at Wegmans supermarket. Although it's called a supermarket, it sells a wide variety of prepared foods. The sushi selection is extensive and delicious. The supermarket offers a dining area and a microwave. It's a great place to have lunch!
