4.00Had a wonderful time and tour of the city. Our guide was lovely, however there weren’t enough stories. We expected more crime stories about real people and what eventually happened to them. She did tell a few… we just expected a lot more information. My friend and I wondered if she was new at this job and maybe forgot all the history and stories in her nervousness. I said I wouldn’t recommend the experience but I’m just unsure. I might recommend it with a more experienced story teller and if more crime stories/history was told.
