We didn't know what to expect for our half-day tour. We saw the list of sites in Old Town and got excited.
After finding us (no Welcome sign as promised), our driver squeezed 4 people into his small sedan. As we drove along one of the people asked if there was anything to share of the areas we were driving through. He talked a little bit, but we didn't get much from him.
Once we got to the fort in Old Town he walked ahead of us and shared information of what we walked through. We had to repeatedly tell him we couldn't hear him. We got to the point of asking questions as we saw things that interested us. But, we felt there was much more to learn.
It was a hot day, we were squeezed in his small car and the air conditioner stopped working. When asked why he had such a small car for 4 people he replied that his larger car's air conditioner was broken. Ugh!
Back on the ship I heard one person comment that the police officer that escorted her to the gate proudly told her party of the people in his country and it's history. Oh, to have had him as our tour guide!
Our guide was a nice guy, sadly he wasn't engaged in his tour.
