“This is absolute false advertisement. From a lack of adequate preparation to extra payment, there are lots of things wrong with this package. We were told that admission tickets for Awana Skyway and SKYWORLDS theme park were included within this package, yet we were unable to avail such services. Indeed, we were told at both attractions that our tickets were invalid as they should’ve appeared in the form of a QR code, something we did not even receive. For this reason, we had to pay double from our pockets for something that should’ve been given according to this package. The only thing actually included was the transport to and from…”

“We spent six hours the prior day trying to confirm a pickup location & time, repeatedly being told the organiser would let us know- finally confirmed at 11pm the night prior. Our guide was NOT a guide- nice enough guy but very limited English so we had difficulty communicating & no history or knowledge was shared by him.
