“Amelioration : Le point de démarrage de la visite … perdre plus de 30 minutes de marche sans aucun intérêt c’est assez nul ! La guide : La guide était très professionnelle mais bon … sans plus sur ce voyage nous avons fait 7 visites guidées et je dirai que c’était la moins “passionnante”.”

“Tour guide Diageo was great! Tour was very informative. I am glad I did this. My only complaint is about the app functionality and tour description. It is not explicitly said that this is a walking tour. There was a crippled man on our tour and getting from place to place took a really long time. The roads were too uneven for him. On a different tour, someone had mentioned to me that on this app she couldn’t find a walking city tour. Both of these folks were older, so a better title would’ve helped them both plan. I would’ve enjoyed this tour much more if we weren’t walking so…”
