4.00Four people including me, got separated from the group when our group got merged in with another group. I called the tour guide on my phone three times. I told him we had gotten separated and where we were. He said he would be coming in five minutes he showed up 45 minutes later. I told him on two of the calls that we wanted to also do the Canal boat ride in Bruges But instead he took the entire group to the boat launching site, then came for us. I kept asking him. Where should we go? Just tell us we have a map. We were two blocks away from the boat. In those 45 minutes, we could’ve so easily walked to the boat site and gotten on the boat with the rest of our tour. Instead, he insisted time after time when I called three times That we stay exactly where we were and he would come get us. He did offer to put me on a boat with another tour, but it cut into the free time we had for shopping and I had a couple things I really wanted to buy, including chocolates. So I skipped the boat ride entirely and did my shopping. When we met at the meeting point at 1:30, he told me I must take a taxi to the tour bus. He spoken Dutch with the taxi driver. I said tell him exactly where to go. The driver took me to the wrong place a shuttle bus driver from my cruise ship saw me and helped me and talked to the tour guide on my phone. They brought me back to the ship. This could have been avoided if the tour guide had had a long stick with a with a tour number on it or a flag as many other guides did. We would’ve been able to follow him, but he should’ve noticed that two handicap people were missing from his group. We were connected by earphones and transmitters, and he could’ve given us a message over the transmitter. He needs better organization, he needs to be mindful of where the whole group is, and walk so fast that the people got all spread out. Once the other tours started mixing in with us we lost him and had no way to find him in the crowd, a stick with a number or a identifying flag would have solved many of these problems.
