Too much, too fast!

It was a lot of constant information overload and no time to ask questions 😕 The guide was extremely knowledgeable, but felt he rushed through the information and ended up wrapping up the experience about 25 mins early.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
The 25 minutes part is inaccurate. We started early as everyone arrived ahead of time (by 20 minutes). Also, small groups such as yours move more quickly through the streets. That's is why we finished earlier than the advertised time. We log in at start times and out, via an app. Your tour ended 8 minutes earlier than usual. That said, after six years and 15,000 tours, we've never had a guest complain they received too much. I guess you can't please everyone. This tour is packed with 20 stories to give a solid overview of the town. Also, at the beginning of every tour and at the end, the guides always say they'll hang around for any questions. And they do.
Definitely recommend this tour
