    You sell tickets for a tour that is not active. I waited about an hour from my holiday time for nothing. Why you didn't deactivated the tour from the internet page if you are not holding it? I am very upset on you and your "business" partner.

    Very nice trip, excellent customer service. The only flaw that it doesn't stop in front of points of interest

    We saw virtually nothing of the monuments during the night tour. The lighting in the bus and the reverberation from the windows didn't allow us to see properly. What a shame!

    First of all I get the wrong time from headout company and my tour didn't happen at that time (I've got 6.30 pm, but the last tour was on 5.30 pm), second I wanted to change tour to another day 1 st of January they said that change it, but at that day tour didn't happen again. So I didn't get tour and they didn't refund me money, be careful when you buy tickets from headout company.
