So disappointed

Rita_R, Apr 2025

I’m honestly in disbelief that this tour guide is still allowed to operate after such a misleading experience. Out of the five stops listed in the itinerary, we only visited two! One of the key highlights, Cat Cat Village, was supposed to have the admission included—yet the guide flat-out refused to go, saying it was “too touristy” and told us we’d have to pay ourselves if we still wanted to visit. Absolutely unacceptable. We were also promised a cooking class with locals, which was a big reason I booked this tour—but instead, lunch was just waiting for us when we arrived. No interaction, no experience, nothing like what was advertised. To make matters worse, the guide took us extremely off the beaten path—so much so that I genuinely felt unsafe. I’m an experienced hiker, but this was on another level, with no warning at all about the intensity or risk involved. And when I raised my concerns, the guide became defensive and quite rude, which only made the whole experience even more uncomfortable. If I could give zero stars, I would. This was not only disappointing but also potentially dangerous. Avoid at all costs.
