The one I was most looking forward to doing but also the scariest for me,trying to stand on or walk across a glass platform 1100mtrs above ground is something that will last with all that do it,just be aware that it does get very windy up there too.

Daniyel was an absolutely wonderful guide! He was enthusiastic, friendly, and very well-informed of the sites' history and facts. He was very engaging during every part of the tour, adding some interesting stories or anecdotes which made his presentation very fun. He was also extremely helpful after the tour was over when we asked for directions to other sites using the subway. We were very lucky to have Daniyel as our tour guide. He is a amazing human!! The tour was very well planned. The sites were just what we wanted to see in the short time we had to spare. The walk pace was pleasant and gave us time to observe, take pictures and ask questions. Well done!
