    Disorganized tour

    Marie_K, Jun 2024
    They started by picking us up late. Not their fault because apparently there was a funeral procession. However, it would have been nice if they let us know they would be over 30 mins late picking us up. We got there and most of the tour participants spoke Spanish so we thought maybe we got on the wrong tour. The guides figured it out and put us in a group pretty much by ourselves so the guide could speak English. Hike was ok- he asked us what difficulty trail we wanted but he ignored us and took us on the easy trail when we asked for difficult. Clearly there was no choice. Volcano views were awesome. When we ended the hike we had lunch, which was fine. Then they told us to continue on to another tour that we didn’t book since some people in the group were going to the hot springs and some went to the hanging bridges. The guides seemed pretty disorganized. Hot springs were nice. Overall, their disorganization caused my daughter to have an unnecessary panic attack because no one seemed to know who was getting on which bus to go where. I should have been more wary of the low tour price. Would not do again.
