The description of the tour mentioned many places including Bahai palace and gardens. But it was deceiving, the tour was only of few places in the old city. We have been on multiple walking tours, but never had to wait while others visited a museum! But this tour does that!! We waited for 45mins, like many others, because we didn’t want to visit the museum. Our guide was fine, but the tour description isn’t right and I will not recommend it.
the tour is not private for you, there is many visitor as it is a free tour, and for waiting it was you who decide to not enter the monuments, you said you had visited it, how we can afford a better service with what you have said, you arr the one who choose to not come to the monuments and so far you have to wait for others to visit it
