The guide was late for pick up, and we went to look for him. When we finally found him he said he was there the whole time, which he was not. This did not set a good tone as we started our day together.
The sightseeing was fine and he was well informed and helpful. The tour included a camel ride, but when we got there he said we had to pay 20Euro extra for the "good" ride.
The best part was the cooking experience at his home and with his family. His wife and children were lovely and very welcoming in their home. The meal we made together was delicious and enjoyable.
Afterward he led us on a tour through the city market, and took us specifically to places were they were waiting to sell us rugs and other things. This felt very "set up" and not what we wanted - and did not get to spend the time shopping through the market on our own as we would have preferred.
