5.00Pretty good guide. Was very patient and got the group to move through a lot of attractions quickly. If traveling in summer, go prepared. Not for people who might be sensitive to sun. Hat, water and shade are not negotiable.
10 Stars for Neil

- Review from Tripadvisor
3.00The tour was scheduled to start at 9:30am but because of the long lines, I endured a wait time of about 1.5 hours in the hot sun before getting into T-Square. The tour guide, Neil, did an amazing job to keep us engaged during the wait by telling stories. The wait was a lot and drained my energy before the tour officially started. Nevertheless, Neil maintained high standards throughout the tour, showcasing his deep knowledge of the sights as well as his passion for the job, with his constant warm smiles.
