“Everything was very good, except for the German guide who showed up late. They would not start the English tour until the German tour got going (both are scheduled for 10am). We were told to be at the Synagogue 15 minutes early yet the tour started 20 minutes late. That said, our English guide was very good and the tour was quite interesting to me.”

If the tour was cancelled - I should have been notified rather than have me stand in the rain for 30 minutes waiting. I contacted tour guide several times with no response. Still no response and it's been almost 24 hours. I demand a full refund.”
