“When we booked this tour, it was advertised as a 5-hour experience. A few clicks later, the duration had been reduced to 4 hours—and in reality, we received just 3.5 hours, including an unnecessary mid-tour break. The tour also started 20 minutes late because the guide had to wait in line to purchase tickets, which was surprising given it was marketed as a "skip-the-line" experience. We paid $300 per person—$600 total—for what turned out to be a shortened and somewhat disorganized tour. While the pricing was clearly stated, it’s unclear why we were charged double when the guide provided the same service to two people as he would have to…”
