    Scandalous!

    Melvin_N, May 2021
    crooks! I tried to contact the organization a day in advance, but there was no response via WhatsApp. On the day itself I also tried to make contact, but got nothing. I think it is outrageous, and do not advise anyone to book this tour. I had already paid for the full booking .....

    From $25.65

    per person
