Not happy!
We booked a trip that included White mountains, Lost River gorge and Flume gorge. We took the option to pay the entrance fees in advance. We were not told that we wouldn't be visiting Lost River Gorge until the day of the trip. We have applied for a refund of the entrance fee to Lost River Gorge and been told we are not entitled to this. I paid for 4 tickets, who has my $100? The advertisement also said that there would be unlimited bottled water and snacks, the driver knew nothing about this so they weren't given either. The driver was not a tour guide, he rarely opened his mouth so we were not given any history or any other information.

A wonderful day
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars are not enough. We had a wonderful day. We really enjoyed the parks, and it wasn't a particularly strenuous walk. However, the best part of the experience was the attentive and professional presence of Willy, our guide. He accompanied us and explained everything in a very interesting way. Thanks, Willy, we really enjoyed ourselves.
