Rio in 1 1/2 hours?!
darcy_k, Apr 2024
Although we saw some great sites, the guide made us feel like he needed to be somewhere else, and our 2 1/2-hour tour ended after 1 1/2 hours. It was not an inexpensive tour so we left feeling taken advantage of (and perhaps not seeing everything we were supposed to see?). Perhaps a price adjustment is in order.......
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your tour experience was not up to our usual standards. It's not how we want our guests to feel, and we'll have a conversation with the tour guide to address your concerns. We appreciate your input and will make sure to take appropriate actions to prevent similar situations in the future. Thank you for your understanding.
