“Buenos días. Se supone que la recogida en el hotel sería a las 06:00 hrs. Siendo los 06:49 nadie se ha puesto en contacto para indicarnos el motivo del retraso. Se trata de una excursión de 9 horas donde solo en el trayecto se irán casi 7. Es inconcebible pagar 360€ para que no nos recojan a tiempo y por el tráfico que hay la estancia en el sitio de la excursión sea de 1 - 2 horas. Estoy escribiendo desde el hotel y son 06:53 y seguimos esperando. NO RECOMIENDO ESTA EXCURSIÓN”
