    We really disappointed with this tour. We booked and paid for a full day and chose a 9am start, the day before they contacted us to say it would start at 10.30, but on the day the driver arrived at 11.45. So we lost half a day. This meant the whole day was rushed and we were watching our time to be sure we got the final stop, the museum, before it shut. So we didn’t get the time we wanted at any stop. We also had no time to do more than grab apples and crisps for lunch in the car. Also this is not a tour, it is simply a driver who drops you at places and waits, minimal information given. I asked for some refund and was really surprised to be offered nothing. Either choose another operator or just get a local taxi driver to drive you for the day, I would steer clear of this, it feels like a scam
