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.
