“Do not book this tour. This was an extremely disappointing and poorly managed experience. Our cruise was scheduled for 2:30 PM, but we were made to wait until 4:00 PM because the company didn’t have enough people and chose to delay departure instead of honoring the booked time. There were families with small children forced to stand outside in the cold for over an hour and a half with no proper explanation or care. We had another tour booked at 4:00 PM, so I requested a refund when it became clear they would not depart on time. The tour company refused to refund, yet kept pressuring us to keep waiting.…”
