“One of the worst guides”
I was expecting the guy in the picture with so many great reviews, but we got another person who kept show pictures on her photo book. She was too lazy to walk to the church so we stood far away when she talked about it. I'd rather get my donation back that I gave from sympathy. I have been on tours from Copenhagen, 2 cites in Sweden, Oslo that great. I guess people's luck runs out

“A Walking Tour: Can Be Improved”
I definetely do not want to say it was an average walking tour experience; which I totally respect the organization itself, the tour guide and all team's efforts. But have to admit that it was not one of the best ones I joined so far.
Content of the tour, the historic content can be developed I believ; already it was a rich one but the soul was a little missing.

“Great tour, but not impressed with the planning ”
Booked for 12 people but apparently that was only possible due to an error in the booking system (or whatever). The company got in contact one and a half hour before, maybe tto let me know that we were going to be part of a larger group or to maybe get me to cancel or rebook. That was not clear but certainly annoying as it was part of a bigger time plan that we had planned months ago. The tour it self was excellent
