Rick was an excellent tour guide/driver. He was very informative and had a great sense of humor. We opted for the bus tour plus the architectural river cruise. The river cruise was wonderful- lots of interesting information and excellent photo ops. The weather was a little iffy and we got a little bit of rain, but once it cl seed it made for some beautiful photos.
