A good trip overall. The leader had a good historical knowledge however I felt that he spoke too long in the other language before he started the English explanation.

We arrived at 11:30am, as per instructions. But we started the tour 50+ mins late.
The tour was marketed as an English tour. But 90% of the time the guide was speaking in Russian, isolating English speakers. The little English used in the tour did not give enough information about the attractions at all.
The tour marketed 3 attractions. The last attraction was skipped without reason, explanation or consultation with participants. Maybe to end the tour on time since it started late.
