1.5/5

I booked a private "tour" for my team for a work event. The process of booking the tour was cumbersome with multiple emails going unanswered. I finally called and was connected with some very nice people, but they were not based in Canada and had frequent multiple day delays in response while they tried to assist. Once booked, the guide showed up and was really just a driver. They took our group to three sites and at each dropped us off to explore on our own. Not really the guided tour that was advertised or expected. Overall, I would say the cost was not worth it. I could have purchased all the ticket and ordered Ubers or walked for much less.
