Review for: Walking Tour

Review for: Walking Tour

The tour started one hour later than scheduled. The tour guide did not show up at the agreed meeting time. The guide did not have a clear understanding of the itinerary, took me to places that were not included, and attempted to skip Chor Bazaar. Throughout the tour, the guide was constantly occupied with his phone and spoke at length without paying attention to my intentions, appearing to enjoy mansplaining. I was not shown any particularly unique or noteworthy markets, and overall, the tour did not feel worth the price paid. At the end, the tour guide got into my Uber, changed the route, and got off at the nearest station.

The guide skipped Chor Bazar & Dhobi Ghat which I believe was in the itinerary
