A big disappointment - Our guide was not at the location. It was an extremely windy. Despite that we arrived at METRO Vieux Port at least 10 to 15 prior to start of the tour. No sign of VIATOR tour operator. No one was looking for us either. We stayed there for close to 35 mins waiting. Very disappointed
