Bumps at the beginning

This did not go smoothly. We had trouble finding the third stop and navigating through the app. Confirm the sites are open the day you do the tour. We did it on Holy Thursday and the library and book museum were closed. Would have been nice to see inside. The Borges house was fantastic.

The place was closed and they don’t want to give me a refund!!!

Totally ridiculous, I bought the tickets for a specific day and when I arrived there, the place was closed. The seller is denying to give me a refund. I’m back home, it’s impossible for me to use the tickets. Worst experience that I ever had while traveling the world. I DON’T RECOMMEND!!
