I appreciated the guide asking about swearing which the group was perfectly fine with. What I could not tolerate was swearing (fuck this, fucking that…) repeatedly in general conversation. It was distracting. He was very knowledgeable- but I thought it was disrespectful to swear repeatedly for no real reason AND I have a potty mouth! The thing I could not tolerate and, ultimately left the tour early because of, was when he referred to drug addicted prostitutes as “crack whores”. It was said several times. Again- disrespectful. I have the unfortunate task of researching deaths related to drug OD’s. The physical/mental/medical/family history of these folks is tragic. Name calling and judge mental tags show a true lack of knowledge and empathy. These things combined caused my daughter to say that he appeared to be “immature”, “inconsiderate”, “ignorant about real life situations”, and “just an asshole”… (she’s almost 18). I hope he is not our guide for the Monday night tour…
