What I didn’t understand is why they couldn’t have had a guide because it was at times confusing going from 1 part of the city to another. I certainly don’t think a guide was necessary for the entire trip but perhaps this company could provide at least as t a YouTube video explaining everything so to make this a more cohesive experience.
