No strict time enforcement

The guide is good however time enforcement is not great. Many travelers did not honor the time given, we ended up waiting for more than 30 minutes for one of the stops after the assigned time. It is frustrating that you kept waiting for those people. To be fair we need to make sure everyone is respectful of others’ time.
