The tour guide started off the tour well. However, when part of the group didnāt arrive at the halfway meeting point he left to find out what happened. We waited for a long time without any communication. Some of the group went back to find out what was taking so long. Some of the group moved on to the end point. By the time the group got back together, the flag ceremony at the end of the beach was concluded. The group came together and the bike tour was back on track, but maybe having a tour guide in the front and rear of the group would allow for communication during unforeseen events.
It would also allow the rest of the group to move on while the problem was being taken care of. It seemed like there was too much down time and not enough bike time.
