We were booked to go on this tour to leave at 8am Saturday morning, and received a text at 2pm the day before to say this tour had been cancelled. We were not in wifi area at the time, and by time we arrived back in Amsterdam, and found out, all the tour offices were closed. It was very upsetting to have this cancelled, at this late stage, and luckily I was able to book the tour with Viatour. This was the first time I had used Get your Guide/Xalam tours and I am not sure I have the confidence in this company to book again.
