    Dear Robin, Thank you for your feedback. It is very important to us and helps to improve level of our services. I'm so sorry about issues with guide, we knew that he has family issues and set another guide for you for 1 day sightseeing. In group tours sightseeing starts at 9 am and ends at 7 pm with accompanying travelers to dinner. I understand that you want to have a sightseeing in the evening after dinner also, because it was July. We will take it into accaunt and give right instructions to our guides. Best wishes, Rushana
