A very enriching experience, with some organizational problems

My partner and I had a problem at the meeting time since we made separate reservations and were assigned to different groups; the staff assigned us a new group and unfortunately this changed our route of places to visit. However, the tour was very good, the guide knew quite a lot about all the places we went to and gave us enough time to take photographs and appreciate the places. The walking trips were not very demanding and the bus we traveled in was very comfortable and had large windows that allowed for a view of the places we passed through.
