“It was raining and the streets were wet and slippery, I told the tour guide to slow down twice but he kept going fast, telling us “let’s go let’s go” repeatedly, even after I told him that I had fallen the day before.

Sometimes they get lost in translation and sometimes we were not sure if he was joking or serious. At the end I think the tour has some potential if the guide gets out of his…”

People, places and events were recounted by Emma in flawless English, as we weaved in and out of the back streets heading towards the old town. After a few hours…”
