Booking was not good, we spoke to someone on your chat and was told this cruise was available that day for 10:30, so we booked and waited from 10:20 until 11:am and no one came, so as I didn't have access to my phone I messaged you, and after several messages, I was told the tour operator would contact me, which he did, and he said the tour was overbooked and he didn't have drivers for 10:30, but he would do it himself at 1:30 which we agreed. Moby came on time and the tour was great, Moby was very knowledgeable, and friendly and even extended our 4.5hors to over 5hours. The tour was exceptional but the booking process was not. You should know the capacity for the tour operator and book accordingly.
