1.They never actually arranged a special pickup point for us. There were always only two pickup spots to begin with, and they just told us we would have to walk 15 minutes from our hotel. Clearly, it wasn’t planned specifically for us, and there was no need to reschedule on the first day. 2.I changed addresses twice and asked them for the license plate number, but they never replied to my messages or picked up the phone. They only got back to me after the bus had already left, saying we’d missed it and telling us to use an even farther pickup point. This is basically just a disguised form of cheating.
1.- You did not provided your location till 11:00 pm the day before the tour, you rescheduled for the next day and we assigned a meeting point since you were staying at a HOUSE downtown. There was a need to reschedule since you never replied to any of our calls, emails, messages requesting your location 2.- On the day of the tour you rescheduled, you arrived 10 minutes late and we have evidence of your late arrival, we instructed to be at the meeting point 10 minutes before since the transportation does not wait past pick up time. We never changed pick up location and we did replied to your many messages and from the first message when you said that you were late we informed you that the transportation had already left
We really enjoyed this tour. My girlfriend and I were very impressed of our driver as well as the text messages I received to make sure we were picked up. Definitely a Pinktastic experience, by the way what a cute tour name👍
The kind words are truly appreciate it, it's great to know that you had such a great time with your girlfriend at this experience
We loved this excursion It was a great experience with the pink lakes. I didn't know that it is a salt producing site. Very educational and with great pictures. We also got to see crocodiles, a boat ride and beach. A very full and fun day!
Las Coloradas is a magical place, it has a beautiful color pink. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the tour!
