Epidaurus Private tour

We booked and confirmed this tour. The tour company Keytour was communicated with to establish the pickup date, time and place. We were waiting at the established time and place and they DID NOT SHOW UP. I called the company and they said that the sites were closed for Easter. They never communicated to us that they were cancelling the tour. BEWARE OF THIS TOUR COMPANY. They knew it was Greek Easter and that these sites would be closed but they still took our money
