2.00Guide was 8 minutes late for the start. Said zero until we met another group 15 minutes later then was knowledgable but no zest or humor or sense of excitement of fun. Driver was the slowest driver I have ever encountered. Altogether okay I guess but certainly not fun and I resented guide coming late when we were all told to be at the bus stop 30 minutes early.
Very good tour
