1.00The Service and attitude of the workers at Julia Tours were awful. There was a mix up with the meeting point in that our notification did not allude to us meeting a meeting point. My friend and I stood in line for 45 mins in the hot sun only to be told that Julia tours meets around the bend up the street. We got to the officer about 15 mins after the booking time after waiting almost an hour in line to be told that we would need to rebook for a next day and pay half price. I showed the agents my booking and that there was no info listed as to meeting points. The customer representatives were dismissive and rude.
Great way to see the...
