“The tour was amazing,Hardes ,our guide, was great.The only issue is booking on this app,they actually deduct funds from your account before confirming if the dates are available.I had to change my dates long after I paid which was a huge inconvenience..I had to stay in the area an extra day,which was costly. I would advise anyone interested in the tour to book straight at the offices instead on this app.”
