When we walked by other tour groups, their guides shared interesting history about the sites, using visual tools like old photos, and they were genuinely interested in sharing their knowledge about the sites. Our guide just walked us around, or told us to walk around by ourselves, shared very little info, and didn’t seem to care about our experience. Very disappointed!”
