Your website on booking said arrive around 8.30am for 9.00am departure. Those that booked at ticket office were told to be at pick up point between 8.00am and 8.15 am for 8.30am departure. Consequently we nearly missed the tour. Glad they waited a few minutes though as the tour was so much fun and our guide was just brilliant. Highly recommend this wonderful tour.
