The inclusions were clearly mentioned in the title itself, which gave us confidence in booking. Unfortunately, what followed was one of the most disappointing tour experiences we’ve ever had. At the meeting point, our guide simply handed us a card preloaded with some cash for the two-way cable car ride and told us that this was all that was included. After that, we were left completely on our own. This was shocking, as the booking had clearly mentioned three tastings of lemonade among the inclusions,…”
