“We were expecting a 2 hour tour which actually lasted for less than 1.5 hours. The tour guide said she was left the wrong tablet, therefore couldn't give us some of the information. Later she couldn't find photos on the tablet which were relevant to the tour. I'm sorry to say that overall, it was a disappointing tour.”
