No guide show up

The tour had been confirmed for over a month and also reconfirmed two days prior to start, but no guide show up. Went up 03:35 AM for nothing. But Viator support was very helpful and I had the money back on my credit card already they day after. A bit sad though. Not heard a word from the tour operator...

So worth it!

Have to do it again
