“I have given this 5 stars because the experience was wonderful. However the communication before our pickup from the hotel was awful and took multiple attempts to get a pick up time from the operators. The pick up was originally scheduled for 9pm. At about 6.30pm on the day, we were eventually told it would be 7.30pm. It appears that none of our fellow passengers were given a time at all so there was much waiting at each of the pickups. At the end there 17 in the minibus with the guide and two passengers standing. We were transferred to a large air-conditioned coach and from then on, all was…”
