“Despite calling in advance and specifically enquiring about the enjoyability for non native speakers we were surprised to find that the experience was not a good match for 5 adults who all speak English for their profession on a daily basis. The tour is presented in pirate slang which does not translate well. We'd like to suggest to have a regular english language option next to the current option so that foreign tourist will be able to enjoy this tour too.”
