La información compartida fue muy interesante, sin embargo el guía se enrollaba mucho en lo que decía o se perdía mucho tiempo preguntando a la gente sobre que creían que era tal cosa, entiendo que lo hace para interactuar pero fue un poco excesivo y eso alargo mucho el tour, los lugares visitados me parecieron muy bien, lo único que no me gustó fue que casi al final del tour paso media hora criticando a unas chicas que no habían terminado el tour y se fueron sin pagar (probablemente porque ya había sobrepasado bastante el tiempo designado para el tour) y eso más lo antes descrito alargo el tour a unas 4 horas de duración, el guía nos daba un sermón sobre como actuaron las chicas y eso estuvo muy fuera de lugar pues no era nuestro padre o profesor, no aprecié que usara tienpo del tour para esto, es una lastima porque la ruta e información del tour es buena pero el debe ser profesional y no hacer cosas fuera de lugar.
