“3 tips: (1) too much filler/ extra walking for no reason other than to fill 2 hours. (2) tour guide needs to bring paper plates. Eating on dingy napkins is just jenky. (3) don’t make strangers cut and share donuts. This is not a school trip. Buy enough for everyone AND let them select their own. Otherwise the people at the end of the line don’t get any choice- they are stuck with what the leader selected and no one else wanted. Having to cut and share donuts just reeks of cheapness. This tour costs enough that they can afford everyone to pick their own donuts and not share.”
