Wir haben eine Tour gebucht und waren pünktlich dort. Leider ist auch 10 Minuten später niemand gekommen. Der Guru war auch telefonisch oder per Chat nicht erreichbar. Wir haben erst 2 Stunden danach eine Rückmeldung erhalten. Die Tour sei nicht angezeigt worden. Offenbar gab es technische oder sonstige Probleme. Für uns dennoch eine Enttäuschung.

After being on 3 tours in a city it is hard to be surprised or get new information, but David managed to do both myltiple tumes. He showed us so many new places and gave us a ton of tips, and we ended up at many different views and hidden streets. He also helped us with dinner reservations as it was New Years eve and a many restaurants were closed. Very highly recommend.
