Find the mistakes in the following letter and correct them

 

Nevertheless £10 seemed a lot for a guided walking tour, I paid like most of the others staying at the hotel. The tour was supposed starting at 9 o'clock, so we were getting a little angry and were just about to go and have a cup of coffee together if the guide finally turned up at reception 30 minutes late. She said she has left home in time but had to go back while she'd forgotten the tour maps - it was her first day on the job!

First of all, she wanted to know who of us already had maps and who didn't. We eventually started more then an hour behind schedule and started walking through the old town. However there were only about ten of us, I found it hard hearing her commentary because she was only talking to the three or four people closest to her. As we walked along I asked her if we can go and see a beautiful old church, but she replied that we had to stick to the timetable. After that, I decided I'd better rely to my own map and walk through the city myself.
