Informative - Informative—almost too much so. Speaking more slowly even if not as much information would be helpful.

More walk & talk - Don’t expect a lot of historical substance and quality details, it is more a casual and jovial talk & walk.

Language connection - There was only the 10 am daily offering for an English tour. With travelling arrangements, we stayed overnight to enable catching the 10 am start. They arrived 9:50 am. The tour guide's English was extremely difficult to understand. Storyline was hard to grasp. Disappointed with the walking tour in English.
