“Did not realize that there was so little time, very rushed time, at each stop on tour. Was especially stressful when guide informed us that anyone late to meeting point would be left behind. Tour guide did not let us know we would be in queue outside, in the rain, for considerable time...if we knew, we would have brought our umbrella to queue line. He gave us a listening device that we all wore around our neck at all 3 excursions, not knowing it's purpose was to hear him and only him giving general information at the first stop.”
