Good way to travel to Ollantaybambo

The pick up and meeting the group in the morning was frustrating, I confirmed a few time they always say will pick up from our hotel, until the night before like 11:20pm they messaged saying I need to walk to Plaza Recocijo, it wasn’t far from hotel but they could have advised us earlier so we can prepare for it also know what time and where to go. Our guide was nice and informative happy to answer questions also very helpful. The silver museum pretty much just a stop to get you spend money probably for their commission.
