Lovely night out tour

Very knowledgeable tour guide. Sebastian was very patient and flexible with such a big group. He kind enough to contact people who were missing at the end of tour. The streets were pretty busy with people. It was an awesome tour to take

Not meeting point clear

No good , there is no sight to identify the meeting area . There was nobody in the area to ask , about the meeting point . Instructions to get the tour to complicated. We went to the meeting point in front of the hotel and there was no body to ask . There was a bus with other route in front of the hotel . The temperature was 17*F we waits for half an hour , left the area . One hour later someone call and ask if we will show up. Imposible for us to go back . By the way it was the three of us mother wife and my self .

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. The tour operated as scheduled and welcomed over 90 passengers that day at the same clearly stated meeting point. All booking confirmations include detailed instructions, a map link, and on-site coordination. Our team waited beyond the scheduled departure time, and you were unfortunately recorded as a no-show. We later attempted to contact you, but by then the tour had already departed. We respectfully disagree that the pickup process is unclear, as it operates smoothly every day for a large number of guests.
