No redemption of tickets needed

It was really nice to skip the line There were a lot of people standing in a line Im guessing who didnt have a skip the line pass The guide unfortunately I cant remember his name was nice very informative My only complaint with this experience is that the instructions stated that our tickets needed to be redeemed before the tour began an outside location I wasnt able to find it so that was a little stressful It turned out that nothing needed to be redeemed The guide company just verified our names Suggestion having this important piece of information included in the instructions would be incredibly helpful
