“Horrendous, tour guide didn’t even know we’re coming, imagine I had to message an hour before the tour, even though they should’ve messaged me 24 hours before. It took us 3 hours to get there and back, and we wasted a whole day, worst off when they decided to message us, they mentioned they made a mistake with our booking, and booked it for 07:00 AM rather than 1:30 PM and essentially told us to wait a couple of hours before we get a slot, it’s unbelievable!”

“Was not a good trip. Window on bus cracked. Was already shattered before hand. The bus was dirty and was very humid. Not a bus I would recommend. The trip started late, I think they had to pick up a friend of there’s. The trip went badly due to weather as well, but that’s not their fault. Did not look like the photos. Was not promised everything. We also did not get a chance to reschedule even though it’s said we can reschedule due to weather on this app. Only good thing was that Catalina was very nice and a good person.”
