Tour operator was wonderful!!! Very knowledgeable and informative and provided lots of information. Trip was good for my husband who has trouble walking -we got a good overview of the city and the operator made the trip so enjoyable - really enjoyed her spirited conversation about the city!! My only complaint is that there is no option other than Chinatown for the exiting the tour. We had to spend quite a bit of money for a ride back to our hotel as finding the right subway while construction is all over Chinatown was impossible. Can't you give people an option to disembark either in Chinatown or at our original meeting place?? At least people know how they got to the meeting point if they cannot find the way home from Chinatown!!
