    Reply from: Contiki
    Thank you for travelling with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that certain aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations. In particular, we understand how challenging it must have been to navigate long walks in the scorching heat, and we sincerely regret any discomfort this caused. Your wellbeing is important to us, and we’ll be reviewing this feedback with our Operations Team to see where adjustments might be made, especially during high-temperature periods. We’re also very sorry that you had to arrange your own transport on several occasions. Our aim is to provide a seamless and relaxing travel experience, and we regret that this part of your journey fell short. We’ll look into the details to understand what may have led to this and ensure clearer arrangements and communication for future travellers. Thank you again for your honest comments they help us to improve. We do hope that, despite these concerns, there were still moments of enjoyment during your tour, and that we may have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future under more comfortable circumstances.
