This is an excellent restaurant which is the new opening in the town and also the talk of the town. The delicacies prepared here are awesome and delicious. The chefs have all come from outside and serve the best of gourmet food. It was exotic and tasty array of food and I highly recommend this place to everyone. Just awesome!!

It was a pleasing and an interesting visit to this great museum. They had a huge collection of fascinating artefacts and culturally infused items. I really enjoyed a few parts of it. It is quite big so you might feel a little bored in between. You can skip through whatever doesn't interest you.

I took my kids to this place. It was an awesome experience for all of us. I do think strongly that your kids will love it but the bonus is that you will love it too. It gave me a chance to indulge in fun activities and be present with my children. We made a full day out of it and honestly it was an amazing experience for the whole family.

While making our itinerary, we included this place towards the end and thought that incase we are behind time, we will skip it. But thank God, we didn’t because it was one of the greatest places to visit. Easily accessible, conveniently located, gorgeous location and the easy navigation for the entire tour of this place made it much more fun and enjoyable. I will suggest everyone to please visit this place.

The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.

The hotel was a nice place to stay and the best part here was the free wifi and free parking which is the hardest thing to find in this city. The hotel was well equipped and the staff was very professional. The rooms were big enough and it was a decent stay which also included breakfast.

Our visit to this place has been both educational and fun. My kids were so excited about the visit that it kind of made my day. Our guide was extra sweet and special and made sure all of us had a good time. He made sure we get to know all the facts and history of this place. I am really thankful to him.

This is a beautiful city which is known for its historic locations with so many stories associated with it. There are plenty of locations and lots to see here. It is a place where you will never be bored. Take a guided tour and make sure you visit all the places and trust me it will be worth it.. This is an amazing street with lots of ancient buildings and so many shops from where you can purchase so many things. The street is the most happening point of the city and has a lot to see and do. A lot of great cafes and restaurants are also there which are the best places to try out some tasty food and indulge in nice drinking. It was a great experience.
