    Hi Ingimundur, thank you for your review. We are terribly sorry to hear of your booking experience. Unfortunately our Sales team are experiencing uncharacteristically long turnaround times, with our teams being very busy as travel restrictions are lifted and the industry picks up again. We are working hard to address this and getting our turnaround times to a respectable time. Apologies again for the inconvenience. Despite this, we are pleased to read that the trip itself was great and your leader. We're so proud of the work our local leaders do and believe they're integral to making our trips as special as they are. We hope to be able to welcome you on another adventure soon!
