Disappointed

Michael_L, Oct 2025

This was one of the saddest tours I have taken abroad. The water was filthy and depressing. There were no stunning views to photograph and I found very little cultural knowledge from the recorded commentary. Perhaps the worst of all things, my reservation said the end point was the same as the origination point but I was asked to depart at a stop and had to pay to return!!!!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are sincerely sorry that the tour was not what you expected. We want to tell you that the tour you booked ends at a different stop than the starting point. For the tour to return to the same location, it was necessary to select the “Round Trip” option when making the reservation. We greatly appreciate your comments, as they help us to continually improve. We hope to welcome you again and offer you a much more pleasant experience.
