Did not go, company wouldn’t pickup

I submitted my pickup location on 3/16 and got an acceptance notification. Was not told until 3/24 after the cancellation deadline that pick up was not possible. Viator would not cancel and refund but put it up to the tour company. No response. Confirm that your pickup spot is okay before the cancel deadline or make arrangements to go to the main meetup spot yourself.

Impressive story

Interesting and educational day with a lot of history. Our guide Typhoon Honey, a man of enormous energy and not far from a laugh, has told us and taught us a lot about life in the war. With compassion and a portion of seriousness. An excursion to recommend!

Typhoon Honey

If you book a tour ask for Typhoon honey , not for cycloon or monsoon honey. He gives a lot of information bout history and war. But the best , he is one the funiest guides we met
