“We showed up 15 mins late to the main station for a 1pm trip and nobody was there to assist us. Nobody called or sent an email so we took the trip time. This was a boring drive trough of the city on a bus with headphones. We spent most tome on the bus sleeping cause there was no interaction and when they did let us out, we had 5 mins at each stop and we did t even get to get out to most stops. I should’ve done my own tour.”

But later before 2 days of the schedule the pickup upped point was changed to Zurich main station. When I went to the station no update/ no calls. When I called the provider I was told they couldn’t book me so they moved it to next day. Next day they said they will refund and asked me to go direct with Lindt.
