However, the reason for this could be the guide's lack of fluency in English. The surprise was that we started our return journey without warning from our guide during the tour, though the Edge of the World, which is the final destination, hadn't reached at all. It wasn't until a pressing request that our guide returned so the group could reach final destination. It was very strange because the other cars in which the other members of our group drove had already reached edge…”
