“Our tour guide did not show. Some other guide who happened to be there and could not find his party arranged on the fly to take us on the walking tour instead which was very nice of him, except that his tour was terrible. We meandered around old town and he told us some random facts and things but was not very coherent and seemed more interested in just chatting about life. We did not get much out of this tour I'm sorry to say.”
