3.00It was difficult to hear the guide as the group was to big. The tour was conducted in 2 languages as well which made it even more difficult to follow. We left after an hour. A pity

3.00We very much liked our host on the tour and she shared many important sites in the city and provided rich detail in the history. Because the tour was in French and in English (due to too many French speakers for the second guide to handle alone) the tour felt like we got half the information. There was a lot of waiting during her speaking French which made the tour feel like it dragged.
No show..
