Super Guide aber Tour nicht vollständig

Die Guide Frau war super professionell aber die Tour war nicht vollständig. Anstatt Hagia Irene war kleine Blaue Musche und nach Topkapi war der Tour zu Ende. Ich musste darauf hinweisen dass in meinem Voucher nocht Grand Basar steht dann wurde ich mit dem Bus dort abgesetzt.
