“The tour guide was ok but the tour overall was horrible. The description of the tour was misleading as it was listed at 4-5 hours long including a walking tour and museum visits. The tour guide was not aware that my ticket came with museum visits and the tour company didn’t even have the museum tickets ready for me. I ended up needing to leave the walking tour early to go to the museums which closed at 5pm - the walking tour was 2-4pm.”
