Canceled our Tour at the Last Minute

1.005 of us had booked a private tour and paid for it 6 months in advance. The morning of the tour (tour was to be at 3pm) we received emails it had been canceled. As it was a Saturday, we tried to re book with others but all of the spaces were taken. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY unless your schedule is super flexible.
Unreliable

1.00They cancelled my private tour with less than 24 hours notice. No explanations or apologies. I had to take time out of my vacation to find a new tour! We ended up doing a group tour, which was not ideal for us, but it was the only one available.

5.00Just like my review of our private walking tour of Valletta, this was another excellent tour with the super-knowledgeable Mariella taking us round. Mariella made the whole tour so personalised and interesting. The 2 hours flew by and for us 4 was great value for money. Highly recommended

1.00Reservations made on the Trip advisor site but apparently it is Viator which sells the tour, we were looking forward to this private tour in French unfortunately we received a whatsapp from the company telling us that they did not have a guide for Tuesday morning but offered us a visit on Thursday afternoon.....this did not prevent them from debiting us and confirming the visit on Tuesday....after a few Wattap exchanges and without a solution they reimbursed us....but we didn't have a guide...
Excellent Tour
