La peggiore non escursione della mia vita. Presentato dopo un’ora rispetto all’orario, dopo un’altra ora ci ha comunicato che non avremmo avuto i servizi richiesti e prepagati. Alle nostre rimostranze, dopo aver tentato di mettersi d’accordo in “modo molto informale”con alcuni “pseudo operatori” del luogo per trovare una soluzione, ci ha cancellato il tour. Era una escursione da una nave dunque ci siamo trovati senza escursione e senza soldi. Meno male che il corrispondente italiano si è fatto carico del disagio.
