Heritage trip

Enjoyable trip, covering some worthwhile & interesting things to see. Ripley was a nice guide/driver, though we had a bit of trouble hearing commentary over the noise of the van, a microphone would have been helpful.

Might not be worth it to you

Hit or miss on the commentary Didn't talk about city that much. Stops you could easily do on your own with more or less time as wanted .
