“We were 50 people. The guide did not even introduce himself. We walked to three very crowded noisy bars were we got a tiny little drink and coupons which are goot for nothing, paid full price for our drinks ang that's it. We learned nothing an heard nothing about the city, the history not even regarding the places we visited. A waste of time an money.”
