Worst experience with a Tour Operator EVER. BEWARE!!!

Mark_B, Jan 2023

This was the worst experience we ever had with a tour operator. They canceled the tour, then said it was on and they would give us a pickup time. Several communication attempts with them and no pickup time until finally at 11:04PM (after we were asleep) a text arrived that they would pick up at 8:00AM the next morning- even though we booked for 10:00AM. Did not see the text until the tour guide woke us up the next morning at 8:00 AM. Do not ever use this company again! No apologies given and no credit given for our inconvenience and wasted time. The contracted tour guide who drove us (Marshall) was very nice but he showed us that he was never given our contact number until 8:20 that morning so he was not able to contact us in advance. Viator and Trip Advisor should never allow any of its customers to go through this experience.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Dear Mark, Good morning. First and foremost we would like to apologise for the inconvenience and the way the communication was done between us. On behalf of the entire team, kindly accept our apology. We are glad to hear that Marshall was a great host and that the tour took place. We understand that you booked the tickets for 10:00 am for the 11H00 boat trip. However due to high volumes of travellers during the festive season the tickets at Robben Island become a big issue as they are in high demand. We chose that boat slot as we got a hint that there was a possibility to cancel the 11H00 boat by Robben Island and we did not want our clients to miss this experience. We wish you all the best for your future travels.
