We have been here from half an hour before until half an hour after trying to find the group without success. We wrote to them that we were here and they only told us that they were waiting for us without giving more details

Response from Host, Aug 2026

We are sorry you were unable to join our tour. Full details including the exact meeting point, start time and arrival directions were clearly stated in our booking confirmation email sent to you upon reservation completion. Most of our guests were able to locate our group following these provided instructions. We also included our contact phone number in the confirmation for guests to reach us in case of any issues. Unfortunately, we only received your message after the scheduled departure time. We replied confirming we were waiting but could not provide further real‑time location details as the group had to depart on schedule for the rest of the itinerary. We regret that this experience did not work out for you.
