Traveled in May 2024
Reply from: Wingbuddy
Thank you for your feedback Natalya. We’re sorry to hear about the larger group size compared to what was initially promised. To accommodate the increased number of participants, we had to split the tour into two buses. We understand that a smaller group can enhance the travel experience, and we regret that this situation did not meet your expectations. Your comments are important to us, and we will review them to improve our future tours. We appreciate your understanding and hope to provide a better experience on your next trip.

It was truly a disappointment to have learned that a tour which promised 25 person max, actually consisted of 43 people. That many people was extremely hard to navigate, a lot of extra time spent on gathering and explaining, which caused delays. The age group our young group was placed with was completely different, they could have done better there. Our guide and driver were amazing and truly were the reason that there are more stars than wing buddy deserved. Only 1 properly rated hotel was given to us, the rest were below 3 stars. Food was mediocre, will never use nor recommend wing buddy again!Show more

Thank you for your feedback Vera. We’re very sorry to hear about the discrepancies in group size and hotel ratings, and we apologize for the inconvenience this caused. We’re glad to hear that the guide and driver made a positive impact, but we understand that this does not fully compensate for the issues you faced. Your comments are important to us, and we will review them carefully to improve our services. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.

The guide we had was the very best for knowledge and kindness. The driver we had went above and beyond to help me. The translator that was supplied for the quebecois was very helpful even for the English speaking people on the tour. It was the best holiday of my life. There was only one thing that was beyond everyone's control and that was the wind stopped us from going on the balloon ride. Will have to find a way to do that another time. Thank you for the very best your that you supplied.Show more
