“One of the worst tours. The guides accent was so heavy it was impossible to understand her. She just talked throughout the time on the bus and we had no idea what she was saying. Others on the bus were talking amongst themselves because they obviously didn’t understand her either. I’m sure she is very knowledgeable but these tours that are supposed to be English need guides that English speaking tourists can understand. It was a complete waste of time. An audio self tour would have been a lot better!”
