Do not book. - The guide Gale didn’t have an in-depth knowledge on the area that he was guiding. A clear example of this was he took us to a statue in the middle of town, and when asked what the name of the person was, he said “I’m sorry I can’t remember, it’s a Norwegian name.” The guide was from France. Gabe lacked direction and confidence, and there were many, many awkward silences. Gabe knew a small script with each stop, but struggled to provide information or answers outside of this. He labelled the cathedral as the burial place of the wrong king. His presentation I.e. wearing an old Star Wars tshirt further added to the lack of professionalism in this company. I have probably done 20 walking tours across the world, and unfortunately this one was the most lacking and disappointing. We left the tour early, and immediately contacted the tour company and they were very apologetic at first, then they became distant and unprofessional and sadly refused a refund.
