The pick up point was chaotic and disorganised. Was disappointed that we paid for a small group and yet a larger 'skip the queue' joined us for a short while. It took a good 25 minutes before we actually started the tour. Our tour guide Antonio was knowledgable but had repeated problems with battery/radio. Your lasted 2.5 hours, think I would have preferred to go at my own pace without guide.Primo_S
