“The experience was terrible. You allowed me to book last minute, yet provided no communication, and my family and I were left behind without doing the tour. I had to search everywhere just to find a phone number to reach someone. Then the representative had the audacity to tell me it was because I booked last minute yes, I did, but if you allow last-minute bookings, that is your responsibility, not mine. The lack of communication and organization is unacceptable.”
