It’s a scam do not fall for it

Omar_Y, Mar 2025

Terrible experience. They advertise a guided tour. They even specify that it includes headphones given during meeting point prior to tour. We followed all instructions. No one showed up to the meeting point. When we called their office they said they had emailed us a self tour audio link instead. From our party of 5 only one of us has cellular data usage and there was no wifi available . Therefore, it deceives the point of paying for a tour. Also, no skip line access. We feel scammed. It was a terrible experience please don’t fall for this tour they don’t provide the service they advertise.
