Look specifically for the Pole No. 10 marker at the airport to find your team quickly amidst the bustle. If you choose the street food tour, come with a healthy appetite as the variety of flavors is extensive.

Since this is a half-day tour focused on the central districts, the walking distances between the Post Office and the Cathedral are very short, but the Reunification Palace grounds are quite expansive.
