A guided tour without a tour guide

Here is how the conversation went when we were checking into the guesthouse on Olkhon Island.

Martin - Do you have any rooms available?
Guest House - Yes

Me - Are there any other tourists here?
Guest House - Yesterday 11 guests, today just you.

Guest House - Would you like to go on excursions?
Martin - Yes
Me - What are the excursions?
Guest House - There is one excursion, a guided tour of the island. You go in a bus around the island with a guide and you visit scenic areas and have a picnic before you return in the evening.
Me & Martin - Sounds good we'll do it.
Guest House -  there is no tour guide in winter
Me - thats OK we'll still do it
Guest House - I book it for you for tomorrow?
Me & Martin - Yes


We went to our room. 5 minutes later there is a knock on the door and the lady comes in to explain that there is no excursion as there is too much snow.
