1.00The tour operator failed to show for a paid for and confirmed tour at our appointment day and time. Despite the fact that I have an email confirmation and tickets that were sent to me the night before, and my credit card was charged, the company has refused to refund our tour and instead claimed no such booking existed.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable from both his personal experience and studies in history and art. I would recommend this tour highly.
