I also wanted to add that the person I asked questions of before booking did an outstanding job of getting me the information I needed before booking tour. I needed to know where the city tour would end and the cruise begin so I could figure out ahead of time if it was doable in the time frame. Knowing there was 1 1/2 hours in between so we could get lunch was very helpful. Also let us know that it was walkable from one point to another - which again positively impacted our decision to book this excursion.

Our guide, Barbie, was excellent and gave us a great understanding of history and significant places. There were 2 Spanish speaking people who did not show up. If they had, she would have had to repeat everything in Spanish…. Which would not have been as enjoyable or informative. I would not recommend doing that as it would have decrease our rating significantly.
