Pick up was early, vehicle was huge nice clean and cool and good for 13 people. And even though the tour was Chinese speaking, we took it anyway since the memorial releases on’y limited tickets and this was the only tour that had allocation for our date (previous one in a groupon canceled). Your guide did his best to speak in english for 11 out of 13 of us who were not Chinese speaking. Would have appreciated if he told us to book the boat tour online, so we wouldn’t spend one hour in the standby line though. And the $5 tip was not « recommended », the quide demanded it. Even for the two children on board. We skipped Chinatown but we were dropped off at the brunch place near our hotel.
Otherwise, we touched all the city tour highlights, so value for money.
