Simo was very knowledgeable and was able to adapt the tour because of a holiday where many people in the souks were gone. He communicated before hand the limited souks. The tour did end much earlier because of that. The only negative was the slower pace than our group was use to. Although my wife appreciated the slow pace as she was able to duck into various places and look at items she might want to explore later and still easily catchup with the group. Simo would be perfect for older people with some mobility issues.
