      Too Noisy

      Suzanne_D, Apr 2026
      Poorly organised. No one @ meeting point. Arrived 1/2 hour early. Confirmed mtg place with security & others to be sure. Tried several times & several ways to make contact- NO RESPONSE. No live English guide as advertised. Pre recorded with hearing device while simultaneously real life guide speaking loudly in Russian. Noise pollution. Staff were pleasant & well trained.

      Response from Host, Apr 2026

      We’re sorry for the confusion at the meeting point and the communication issues — that’s not the experience we aim to provide. Your feedback about the audio and language setup is noted and will be addressed. We’re glad our staff left a positive impression, and we appreciate you sharing your experience.
