Good private tour

Our guide Jean, was excellent. Super knowledgeable and friendly. The trip was flexed to suit our timings. Only reason for not being 5 stars is that on arriving at Kayaking there was a 20mins back and forth as to whether we had been booked on/paid for (despite booking all through Viator). Also the listing states "3 course meal" for lunch which is actually you can choose to take a break from the tour and pay for your own 3 course lunch - slightly misleading.
