Itinerary should be e-mailed to the customer as soon as booking is confirmed. The only itinerary you could see was the initial one, but this however does not include everything the tour includes.
Pick ups should be arranged at confirmation, not the day before. When in a foreign country it is hard communicating because of roaming, busy traveling schedules and so forth.
The tour itself was great!
