The tour was cancelled

The guide did not show up so the tour did not take place. Yo Tours did not respond to whatsapp, phone or email. We were there for nothing.
Guide didn't turn up

What a waste of our time as the guide did not show up or even tried any communication. We waited for 30 mins before we realise it was a scam. Thanks to YO tours for spoiling it for us.

Don’t go with this tour operator
Susan C, Feb 2025
We went there and waited and guide didn’t turn up. We sent messages to the operator and no response. The government guides at the temple said this is a common problem I would like it my money back. we spent a lot of time waiting for a guide that never showed. I know we booked last minute, but you did confirm the tour. No apology and no communication
