One Language Only !!! Wasting time translating 4 different languages.

Jacqueline_Q, Nov 2022
The sceneries were beautiful and educational. Very well informed. However, when I booked this tour I requested an " English " tour guide. Yes he spoke English, but he ALSO had to translate in 4 other languages, therefore we're hearing everything 4 times in addition to spending more time in one location wasting my time.

Lackluster tour.

I will give you the positive and negative feedback. The positives: 1. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. 2. The spots we saw were very beautiful and historical. The negatives: 1. The operator communicated to me twice. In French. Even though it's an English tour. 2 We were told to be in our hotel lobby at 0715. We were there at 0705. No one showed. When I contacted the tour operator, I was told they were there at 0700 and called our name. I contacted the operator and was told there would be someone to pick us up. So we asked a driver if he was going and had my name. Was told no. Then told yes. Another couple staying in our hotel was told the same thing. We were finally picked up at 0815 3. Speaking of time, the other members of our group were told to meet at 0630. We picked them up at 0830 4. The van was old with uncomfortable seats 5. It rained on us. The guide for us umbrellas at one point but we never saw them again. 6. We were taken to a few shops instead of being allowed to wander around for shopping on our own. 7 The tour was advertised as 10 hours but it was closer to twelve hours. 8. It was supposed to be an English speaking tour but it was in Spanish. Luckily the guide did speak English, I know enough Spanish to understand and what I didn't understand, my boyfriend helped me out Others may have had better experiences but this was my experience.
