Guides such as Obi, Sagar, Lana, Philipp, and Anett are praised for keeping groups social, though the exact bars and group size can vary.

“So positives - Imran I would give 5 stars, he should be managing the tours, he’s great fun and knows how to build rapport with the guests! Change needed, - the first bar was rubbish, scrap it, it’s just a boring sports bar, also should meet at a bar and have a reserved area, not meet and then have a ten minute walk to the first rubbish bar! Not having any areas reserved to, all tours I’ve been in have had that. The third bar was great, more time should be spent there, it’s so cool and funky. I had fun thanks to imran and other people on tour but…”

We learned nothing an heard nothing about the city, the history not even regarding the places we visited. A waste of time an money.”
