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.

I arrived early to the meeting point, waited, couldn’t see him/her, messaged the guru & received no response. Very disappointing

We had a great time with Sara, our Guru's Lisbon Walking Tour in Belem. She was very interesting, fun and interactive. All the logistics and the instructions were very clear and accessible. We highly recommend joining them!
