While the tour is very worthwhile, our tour guide was not good. I’m sure he is good in his native language. However, he should not be giving English language tours. We could not understand him. Furthermore the sound system was spotty. We love learning about history and stories from the locations we visit. If we had a tour guide who could clearly communicate, I think we would have learned a lot more and felt the tour to be worthwhile.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us It is very unusual for us to receive a comment like this regarding this guide, so we understand this was an isolated situation. Still, we appreciate you bringing it to our attention and will work on improving so it doesn't happen again. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a much better experience! Regards
