2.00Pouring rain not a great start. Although guide was friendly she didn’t provide any real information about the places we visited. Upsold to include a boat cruise that was difficult to refuse as you would have needed to make your own way to the next stop. Same with lunch. Weather so poor that we didn’t see anything - should have been given the opportunity to cancel as other companies gave friends.
We had the best tour...
