Guide was one hour late. Security Guard at port called and woke him. Claimed traffic slowed him. No traffic. Car was almost unusable. Doors would not open. Vehicle banged up, in terrible condition. All gears not functioning. Dirty. Ran out of gas forcing us to walk back to ship.
Asked if we wanted to go to a museum. We agreed. At the end of the tour he wanted more money for driving to the museum. Had not mentioned extra charge before.
We were happy to leave our guide and get back on board our ship.
