| All great advice! The tour guides' who aren't loud enough, and who just point at buildings as you run past are a pet peeve of mine. No one mentioned this, but I also hate the tour guides who say "the elevators are so slow, let's take the stairs!" or who go at running-walk up hills. I admit it -I work in an office long hours, will probably be one of the oldest parents on any tour, and am out of shape. I admire the parents and kids who can trot for an entire tour, but I appreciate a more moderate pace. (It's a clue that you're going too fast if the Moms are so out-of-breath that they aren't asking any questions!) We've had a few tour guides act like there's a prize for finishing the tour as fast as possible. |
