The tour site has an incorrect information

The tour was great and our guide Jokey was very nice and knowledgeable. I would give him a five star! One downside is that the tour site has an incorrect information. It clearly shows that the drop off point is same as the pickup point, but it was not. Thanks to our guide Jokey who fixed the problem for us, but otherwise it was very inconvenient.
