Not reliable

Susan_B, Feb 2023

The instructions for where to meet for the tour are very vague. I waited around in the vicinity of the Exito store and bus station for 25 minutes waiting for somebody with the tour to meet me, but no one showed up. I should have suspected that this tour wouldn't happen after I messaged the tour operator to clarify the meeting place and they never responded. I was very disappointed in not getting to go to Bazurto market. I got a refund within a few days. The desk clerk at my hotel told me to book locally, but I didn't have enough time left to squeeze it in on this trip.
