Good, but unfortunately the information was not presented in a structured manner

The former was there on time. He could speak English well and was very friendly. However, he often did not reproduce the information well. You might need more structure. The ability to adapt flexibly to the group should always be improved. Otherwise, it would be helpful if the age of the travelers should be stated when booking.

Wonderful, entertaining city tour through the old town. Our guide was very reliable and took into account that we had an 11 year old child with us.
