It is something that could be improved, and I would bet on other options. The guide was not very empathetic and seemed more interested in rushing us than in paying attention.
Thanks for the feedback. We have looked into the situation with the tour guide and the other guests. In this half day group tour, the guide focused primarily on delivering the essential commentary, and she was kept asking questions by other tourists. We noticed that your mother tongue is Spanish, so probably, some of the guide’s English explanations and the key points mentioned were not entirely clear to you. We truly appreciate your understanding, and we will pay closer attention to such details in the future to ensure a better experience for all our guests.
Mark was amazing. He was patient and engaged all the people on the tour. He was upfront about the timing and walking commitments for everything. Where we ate lunch was so pretty and he was so good at ordering our food (a guest had restrictions). I would recommend anyone go to this all day tour with Mark!
Thank you very much for leaving your opinion of this tour, we are so glad to know you had a good time of the day tour. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
