My husband and I understood we were paying $441.00 for a private tour.
I was advised after the tour guide arrived that. He has no vehicle. and our tour package for $441.00 fee did not include a travel pass wich we now need to travel with the guide wich was $172.00. The tour guide does not own a vehicle. We assumed we would be traveling in a vehicle not mass transportation going in and out of stations to change tram, bus and trains + there was no ticket provided to take the lake cruise wich was over $100.00
This was a an extreme disappointment
The guide was new at this job and read off history facts from notes he had written down and was at a loss for words, he did not appear to be very interested in the information he was sharing with us
He was a very pleasant person but not really a "people person"
The lake cruise for 1 hour was truly lovely however, I would have never agreed to pay over $800.00 for a 4 hour tour and 2+ hours of mass transport
We have taken numerous tours with Aviator before that were excellent
This tour fell short on customer satisfaction and tour description !
