“Meeting place had multiple other tours in the same meeting place. There was no communication from the guide on the day. We talked to 3 other guides there and due to the chaos we were unable to get any confirmed result. We talked to one guide and she said yes yes this one but then could not find my name (I was showing her my booking and ticket) she then said this is the right tour and added my name into her group. On starting the tour we quickly realised this must not be the correct one. We asked her again are we on the correct tour?? Oh no no…”
