Traveler reviews
The tour guide was...
The tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. The rest of the team on-site was very kind and friendly too. A very good opportunity to get to know the history and fun facts about the city. The only problem was the communication with MyTour itself. I booked the tour for 9:30am. I got a WhatsApp message after 7am that the tour will be held at 9am without any further clarifications why and without any questions if it was okay for me. The communication via Viator by my initiative was more clear and respectful, but especially any changes in the morning tours should be communicated better, as they are harder to adapt to. Apparently I was the only one who booked the tour for this time slot and they had to reschedule. As I arrived, there was no one on the site and the tour group I joined after was late by 20 minutes. Again, understandable, but there was no communication about the delay, I had to reach out to them myself. I would give the experience 3.5/5, although the rest of the tour was very good.
Great guide
