As my wife said, Arthur is like “el Capitan”, everywhere we went he was greeting friends and folks around town - and we even saw the mayor with his entourage and Arthur made him laugh with some choice words. Fun! Our your was just the two of us, but I don’t think any of his get that big…this is a plus when navigating the small streets of old town. Just over 2 hours, well worth the cost.”
