We walked to 3 separate locations. Our tour guide knew very little of what she was supposed to be presenting, and she was visibly stoned, so she kept forgetting what she was supposed to be talking about.

I enjoyed each location and all of the stories. The tour guide was pretty good overall and very entertaining, I would only recommend doing a little better at ensuring the entire group could hear.
