A definite bucket list place to visit

An amazing city with a treasure trove of visitor attractions Driving is crazy which we knew but the green pedestrian crossing along with gren for cars was a little scary and dangerous Pathways were not well maintained but the metro and bus service was superb Food was delicious People were generally super friendly Weather was 30 degrees which was a little surprising for October and we were happy to get dry weather Hotel service was basic and below expectations for 4 star cost Overall glad we made the trip

Awesome experience if you can live with the crowds

The sheer volume of amazing and interesting history and pieces of art is truly amazing The tour programme and guides knowledge was very interesting An obvious drawback was the overcrowding which really took away from the enjoyment of the tour Definitely not for the mobility impaired so glad Ive done this visit before I find it a struggle physically
