I booked a tour expecting a five-star experience, but what we got was a complete switcheroo.
After booking, I waited two weeks for the operator to finally give me details about the promised cruise—only to receive the name at the last minute. On arrival, we discovered it was a completely different, lower-star boat than advertised. When I called for an explanation, they ghosted me, leaving no option to cancel despite the 24-hour refund window.
To add insult to injury, the tour guide forced a mandatory tip of $15 per person per day, payable upfront. Spending 5 days under these conditions was not only disappointing but also emotionally draining. Steer clear if you value honesty and a comfortable travel experience.
The guide’s less-than-pleasant attitude and aggressive approach made the whole experience emotionally draining. Save yourself the hassle—avoid this tour company at all costs!
