We would be picked up 40 minutes late, then driven to a meeting point, where we had to wait for our guide again in the blazing sun for 20 minutes with a lot of people. It was a mess. A driver then opened the door of your air-conditioned bus again because some couldn't stand the heat anymore. We had the impression that this procedure of distributing the various buses is like this every day. Our small group then consisted of about 30 people ... but the actual tour and the guide were OK, even if the tour was much shorter than specified.
