"DO NOT PAY FOR A TOUR - IT'S A CON!"
TripAdvisor user rating 1 out of 5
Reviewed September 10, 2021
A complete con! DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY WITH THEM! They will not reply to any emails or calls when you try to actually book a tour you fully paid for.... yet you'll see them updating their website to take even more money from unsuspecting, innocent people. Something very fishy is going on here and I truly do not want anyone else to be conned by this awful company!!!
