Please do not worry about the tours.
Most tours are quite terrific with interesting tour guides and they keep to the schedule and the itinerary.
On occasion we have experienced a tour that was not to our liking as the itinerary was not followed. There is an escort on each tour from Crystal so we will point that out to them if they have not caught it themselves.
There is a lot of choice when it comes to tours and we have taken some truly amazing ones.
