4.00I really enjoyed the walking tour — it was interesting and the guide shared a lot of great insights. That said, the pace felt a little rushed at times, and walking for over 2.5 hours straight can be tough, especially when it’s over 90°F in the summer. It would be nice to have a slower pace or a few more breaks for people who might find the walk a bit much. Overall, a good experience!
Good guide but long walk
