Optional excursions as sold to us by tour guide, Steen, was completely misrepresented and overpriced. When I tried speaking to Steen about my concerns I was talked down to in a demeaning and patronizing manner. This prompted me to cancel all remaining excursions as I cannot guarantee they will be anything as described by Steen. So upset by this tour.Show more
