“Booked a 10 am tour approx 1 month before- this got cancelled at short notice but was rebooked on 10.30 am tour - on arrival at 10.30 tour this was cancelled due to insufficient numbers in attendance - as those who didn’t turn up had paid and therefore forfeited their payment I couldn’t understand why this had been cancelled- the tour guide in attendance gave us a mini one hour tour which was ok but not the 3 hour tour we had paid for - we felt the tour guide ( who was very good) was left with a difficult situation with a company that frankly didn’t care”
