Far too long and longer than advertised

This is advertised as 8-10 hours. It took 12 hours. As we were leaving on the bus in the morning we were told we often return much later than advertised. Many of the stops were odd like stopping in a “non touristic town” to eat a piece of fruit stood by a decaying fountain on a busy road. Most of the stops were odd. The traffic was bad and bus had mechanical issues but we continued to do pointless stops. Mario and Pedro the guide and driver were very nice. But to me the tour is too long
