The Downside: As a fair and accurate reviewer, though, I should point out some of the downsides to this tour. First, as noted in this review’s introduction, you'll find yourself frustrated if you aren't somebody who likes to amble casually from place to place or if you’re hoping for a lot of information. This is more of an impressionistic experience than an historically-oriented tour.
Finally, the tour itself was somewhat unpolished. I think this is inevitable for this style of tour, and I think it will take a little time before Richard will have his tours working like well-oiled machinery.
My Conclusion: If you're looking for a traditional and fact-packed tour, this may not be your best choice. However, I found Richard’s tour to be refreshing and very memorable. But then, I find any tour that involves a microphone, a bus, or a large group too aggravating to be worthwhile. From my perspective, this tour was a very welcome alternative to your standard and ever-so-predictable city tour.
