    Wish we didn’t do with a guide

    April_N, Apr 2026
    We could not hear the tour guide and were on his agenda rather than what we wanted to see. We were hoping to have an insiders view and he rushed us through areas. My daughter was almost in tears at the end and we all felt like we would have been better off doing without someone pushing us to places we didn’t have interest and let us linger to see the things we did.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

Our tours are designed to follow a structured route and timing to ensure all key highlights are covered, while still allowing moments for questions and interaction. We also aim to maintain clear communication throughout the tour, and we take concerns about audibility and pacing seriously. Your comments have been noted and will be reviewed internally to ensure we continue improving the experience for all guests. Regards, Rosotravel Team
