    They never showed up for the tour, and we walked a very long way to meet up with them. We waited 30 minutes from the time we had scheduled.

    Our guide Veronica was lovely, cheerful and very knowledgeable about the area. She made sure we had everything we needed and helped us navigate our way back to the embankment area. Veronica is a gem!
