Not the best tour. Our guide Julia,was rather less than enthusiastic to show us around.
To begin, I booked this tour through Viator(bad idea)where sufficient information is not available on the details of the tour. The detailed itinerary is not given there. Until I reached the ferry terminal I had no idea that this wasn’t a group tour. I was picked up by a taxi (he had no idea if the taxi fare was paid or not, already not cool) from the hotel and, travelled alone(which is ok). My guide was waiting for me at the terminal, we walked for about a kilometer or so then she gets a call from the company saying that she is supposed to pick up another person from the port. I was asked to wait in a random hotel, asking me to buy a coffee or so since I couldn’t wait like that. I was alright with all of this cos things happen, but the guide could have been a bit more enthusiastic about her explanation and the way she spoke. I hesitated to ask anything twice if I didn’t understand cos she was so annoyed to answer. The duration of the tour(waiting all included) was around 2 hours and around 3 pm we were on our own, roaming and exploring on our own. I honestly feel guide books could have done more justice.
The transfer was simple from the city to the port, here the driver gave us more information about the city.
