This was not the tour we thought we were getting. When we said something to the driver he got defense and copt a major attitude. As I told him it was a pleasant surprise to see the Poseidon ruins but wasn’t what we expected trying to say hey it wasn’t your fault but the person who booked it didn’t listen to what we wanted.
