We had with our tour with someone that didn’t even mention his name. We were purple group on July 2 morning 8:30. I personally had some experiences with tour guides and I can say this was the worst. He explained a lot but in a very messy and unorganized way. I think he was assuming that we are only here to see casually or we know a lot about the place. I was completely lost in the middle of the tour as I didn’t know what he was talking about!!! For such an important place we were unlucky to have him as a guide. Maybe other people were ok but I didn’t like the tour.
