“We did not get to go on this tour with this operator because they gave us the incorrect time to meet. We were at the location well before the time they gave us, but they never came. When I called they said the tour already left, we were supposed to meet 45 minutes before the time we were given. I explained this, but they refused to schedule another tour or give us a refund. Don't use this tour company for anything.”

“I enjoyed the day trip. The sights were beautiful, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. However, as a vegan, I struggled with food options. Despite mentioning my dietary preferences when booking, there were no proper vegan alternatives available, and I could only have small snacks for lunch. The guide did try to assist, but there wasn't really anything suitable for me. I hope they improve and become more inclusive in the future. Other than that, it's a good tour.”
