Elario was a great guide! He was knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Would recommend this tour - we got to see unique shops, historical buildings, and hear great stories.

Super fun, educational, and engaging
We came as a large combined bachelor/bachelorette party and we had so much fun, even in the downpour rain. Jai was such an incredible tour guide. She’s very knowledgeable and clearly deeply passionate about this history. We learned so much.

Long and drawn out tour of disappointment
I had read all the reviews and thought that this would be one of the better tours. Although she was knowledgeable, that we knew of, the stories went on for 30+ minutes at a time as we stood there on the sidewalk. She repeated all the same things over and over. The crowd size was fairly big which contributed to us not being able to hear her very well. She kept calling out the Indian people that were with the group for random things through the night which was off putting. Eventually we got lost and left the tour group. Would not recommend.

Waste of time
This walking guide was a frustrating experience from start to finish. The guide was excessively long-winded, filled with unnecessary details that bogged down the narrative and made it difficult to stay engaged. Instead of concise, clear directions and interesting insights, the content meandered without a clear focus, detracting from the overall purpose of the tour. The lack of focus was particularly disappointing. Rather than highlighting key landmarks or providing useful historical context, the guide frequently veered off-topic, leaving important information buried under irrelevant commentary. This made following the route confusing and diminished the enjoyment of the walk itself. Overall, the guide failed to deliver a coherent, engaging, and practical walking experience. It would benefit greatly from a more streamlined approach, concentrating on essential points and clear navigation to truly enhance the tour.

Loved it!
I got to know a side of the city I never would have had I not taken the tour. It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon. I forget my guide's name, but he was the one with all the piercings, and he was awesome. Glad we did this.
