No tour - Guide did not show up - The tour Guide never showed up. We were there exactly at the right stop about twenty minutes early and waited until 20 minutes past the time the guide was supposed to arrive. SHAMEFUL - Wasted valuable time, wasted money on the tour and wasted money on the fares to get to the start site.
