Lovely guide, well informed and interesting tour - Eva was in touch before the trip to finalise details. She met us at the agreed place at the right time. Eva was passionate and well informed about all details of the tour. She made sure the travellers were able to hear her, and took care with where she stood to minimise rain (and sun).
A well planned itinerary, delivered with confidence and care,

Walking tour - The time was changed the night before, which was ok, but did rearrange our day some. The tour guide was very nice, but read from a paper and it seemed like was maybe winging it. It was ok but we were a little disappointed with the walking tour. Beautiful city and lovely people!

We 4 people were at the meeting place (front door of White Tower) at 10 AM meeting time. The entrance is small, just an ordinary door. There was no guide. There was no one holding a sign with their name or my name. No one asked us if we were there to meet a guide. There was no one standing at the main entrance. While there, I received 2 e mails from TripAdvisor stating that the guide was at the door waiting. The "response" button on the e mails from Trip Advisor did nothing. My email back to TripAdvisor was returned as undeliverable. We were not given a phone number for the guide. We 4 split up and began asking people near and far if they were our guide. After 30 or 40 minutes we gave up, bought tickets to see the White Tower, and hired a cab driver to take us to the other sites on our original tour.
