No Tour and A Lot of Wasted Time.

1.00What a waste of time and money! On the morning of the tour, they moved the pickup time to half an hour earlier and a different location! We went there and the tour guide never showed up. We should have known better because there were no other people going on the same tour with us, so we were there alone and waiting for a long time. After more than half an hour, we tried to call the operator but no one answered and the mailbox was full so no messages. A while later we got a call back. We were told to wait for a driver to be sent over. Another half a hour and no driver. We called again and of course no answers and no messages. We got another call back and were told to wait for another driver in 10 minutes. Another half hour and still no one showed up. We ended up having to walk to downtown and back. What a waste of our time, the anxiety, and the lost opportunity for an island tour. There was no contact from the tour operator afterwards. Please don’t book with this outfit. If there was an option for zero star, that’s what we would give.
Omazing

1.00We were asked where we wanted to pick up our excursion prior to the date. We put in Magens Bay. The morning of at 2am I received an email that we couldnt be picked up at the location specified. Rather we were told where to meet our excursion which was where all ships came in... we were not on a boat. We were tourists staying on the Northern part of the Island. That morning we made our way to gate 4 where the cruise ships come in. Found our tour guide who didnt ask for our tickets but rather had us tell someone on a phone the guide had in his our names. Then we were driven to another pickup location where we picked up more couples. At no time did the guide speak other than to ask our names. He the proceeded to drop us off downtown, tell us to return to the same spot 1 hr later, and point to another guide and tell us we would be joining his tour group. We wandered around for an hour amd met the new group. The new group was upset we were added to their tour (which was understandable) this put us at 23 passengers on a tour that said it could hold 27.... let's just say.. it was a "tight" fit. The tour guide then began talking about taking people and dropping them at Magens Bay. We mentioned we hadn't paid for that. They said its fine.. we will bring you back into town. The directions on what/where we were going changed several times during this conversation and at that time my husband and I decided we were done. We requested to get off the tour (it hadn't left the pickup area) the tour guide asked us why yo which we stated that there was no clear direction, and it was too packed. We'd find our way. So disappointing. We thought we'd see the sights, get history of the area and what we got instead was a discombobulated and confusing mess. Very disappointed.
Very disappointed with this tour company

1.00I don't know because my tour guide never got back to me after there messages, calls, hotel help, and two tour helpers at Haven sight mall and two phone assistants one telling me he would report it and that I wanted a refund since I never went on the tour and someone named Godfrey was no wear to be found this was so bad I worried maybe that the person has had an Emergency, but lots of tour people new his name. Want my $80 refund. 😡
Would choose a different option the next time around!

3.00We did not enjoy the first stop for shopping. There was no direction on whether there was more to see & do other then the store he dropped us off at or the small open market across the street. Had to sit and wait 30 minutes for driver to come back. The rest of the tours was fine.
Did not turn up. Avoid

1.00We had booked a 12pm tour. Arrived at 11.45, by 12.35pm the tour operator Gregory has not arrived and was avoiding all calls. A local security guard called him and he said he had moved the tour to earlier in than day and said he could not call me as I had a UK number . He made no attempt to what’s app or go through Viator message . Avoid and take a local trip that are the same , cheaper and easily available in the parking lot when you get of the ship
