What audiences say

Rated 3.6 out of 5, this tour divides opinion sharply. When it runs smoothly, guides receive real praise for their depth of knowledge and engaging delivery. However, several visitors report last-minute cancellations without notice, QR code failures, and unresolved refund issues, which have left a number of guests frustrated.
