    Richard the tour guide was amazing, he went above and beyond for everybody. If I had known this tour was going to be full of arrogant Aussies with no manners I’d never had gone on it. It’s very cliquey a lot mean girl vibes. You do get your moneys worth in terms of experience of each city you visit. I wouldn’t recommend
