Misleading Booking Experience

Jay

, Nov 2020

My booking was paid for and confirmed online but when we went to check on the tour office was closed. I called the tour operator and he said the booking should not have gone through and to request a refund.

Pete was very informative and made the experience very amusing as well as interesting. Good knowledge of the history. We wished it could have lasted a little longer and a glass of bubbly to set us on our way😉. Thank you.

A lovely , mellow experience. Great guide and beautiful sights to be seen. The only downside is that the public toilets by the river bank are not nice-just a heads up to go before you take your trip down to the river.
