Yes, I have had a negative experience with an adventure guide. It was a few years ago when I went on a hiking trip with my friends. We had hired a guide to lead us through the mountains and show us the best trails.

The guide we got was very unprofessional. He was supposed to meet us at the starting point, but he was late by an hour. When he finally arrived, he seemed disinterested and unenthusiastic about the trip. He barely spoke to us, and when he did, he was rude and dismissive.

The worst part came when we reached the halfway point. We had planned to have lunch at a beautiful scenic spot, but the guide announced that we couldn't take a break because we were behind schedule. We were all tired and hungry, but he wouldn't listen to us. He pushed us to keep walking, and we had to walk for another hour before he finally allowed us to rest.

Throughout the trip, the guide didn't offer any interesting facts or information about the mountains. He didn't point out any wildlife or unique plants. It was a shame because we were all excited about learning more about the area.

Another issue we had with the guide was his lack of safety precautions. He didn't wear proper shoes or gear, and he didn't provide us with any safety equipment. We had to scramble over rocky terrain and climb steep hills without any support or guidance.

By the end of the day, we were all exhausted and disappointed. We had looked forward to a fun adventure, but the guide ruined it for us. We didn't feel safe or comfortable with him, and we didn't learn anything new about the mountains.

Overall, I would say that my experience with the adventure guide was negative. He was unprofessional, rude, and didn't offer any value to the trip. I would never recommend him to anyone else and would advise people to do their research before hiring an adventure guide.
