I booked this tour thinking i would...

Bob, Jul 2017

I booked this tour thinking i would be picked up from my hotel as i was near the airport BUT no i had to pay an extra 500 rand, on the day the Supplier Mount Zion Tours and Travel the driver arrived on time in his own old car and off we went. Got to Soweto was shown everything that was in the IT except for the following, NO water, No visit to an informal settlement, No walk through the Reginal Mundi Church, No optional African Buffet Lunch and No Visit to a local Shebeen and taste a type of beer which by this time i was looking forward too. Then on the way back i said to driver are we to see the Soccer City Stadium soon and with that he turned around and about 10-15 minutes later saw the Stadium for a picture. It seemed i was a trouble to them with my hotel out at the airport.

TOUR OPERATOR FEEDBACK: Thank you for reviewing us and for sharing your comments with us. The voucher recommends that the client called us a day before to confirm their Pick-Up. If your hotel does not fall under the location where free pick up is allowed, we normally request our valued clients make it to the nearest pick up or if they prefer, we pick them up but with extra charge, which was the case with you. Concerning Buffet Lunch, if you would kindly review the inclusions and exclusions on the tour's brochure page, you will see that "Buffet Lunch" is an option, not included. We hope you were still able to enjoy your overall time in Johannesburg.
