No se si fue el tour o la ciudad pero la verdad es que a todos nos dejó bastante indiferentes. La conductora bastante simpática, te da auriculares, te sientan con una tablet y te pones a escuchar una grabación. Va parando en diferentes sitios y hace dos paradas de 15 min en la que te tienes que bajar y "hacer fotos y dar un paseo"... sin más. Hicimos este tour porque nos pilló de paso entre dos sitios y no teníamos tiempo para conocer la ciudad tranquilamente. El tour es tal cual lo anuncian. Translate this opinion into English.

I don't know if it was the tour or the city, but the truth is that it left us all quite indifferent. The quite nice host gives you headphones, they sit you down with a tablet and you listen to a recording. It stops at different places and makes two 15-minute stops in which you have to get off and "take pictures and take a walk"... just like that. We did this tour because it caught us passing between two places and we didn't have time to get to know the city calmly. The tour is as advertised. Opinion translated. Show original.
