There was a little hick-up, tour was changed to 8am, but the guide was not informed. The company offered free drinks n snacks to make up for it later. Our guide tried so hard. She was knowledgeable, energetic, thoughtful and well organized. She put great effort. She was really wonderful. However Her strong accent made it v difficult to understand her. And that made it difficult to follow her explanations.
