“The tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. I think there needs to be more transparency regarding the timeframe of the tour. The tour I booked stated it started at 9:00, with a report time of 8:45. The day before I received a message saying report time was 9:15 and our viewing time slot was 9:45. I had scheduled another tour based on the time I booked which then I had a conflict.”
