My tour guide, Ben, was nice, but not so knowledgable. I in fact think that he was just a regular guy appointed to do the tour as he lacked a lot of enthusiasm. There was barely information given, instead only questions were answered. He was also not from the neighbourhood, but said to have lived there in the past. I’ve done a lot of comparable tours in Africa and Latin America and normally it’s always someone from the neighbourhood who knows everybody. Ben didn’t. The tour gives you the opportunity to get the interesting neighbourhood of Nima which I believe is a lot more pleasant doing it with a local. Asking a local friend would have probably given me the exact same experience. I suggest others to do that instead.
