Der Reiseleiter kam 45 Minuten zu spät. Wurden leider erst nach 30 Minuten informiert das es später los geht. Die Tour war sehr interessant, konnte aber leider nicht alles so gut verfolgen, weil mein englisch nicht so perfekt ist. Wäre toll, wenn die Tour in deutsch angeboten würde, oder zumindest ein Audioguide.
