First off all, my trip was canceled by magic tours. Two weeks before the tour I was contacted by somebody telling me that the price of the trip had changed from November when I booked to the new year. I contacted Viator and asked if this was true and going to be a problem and was told that I was already booked and there would be no problem. Upon arriving in Santa Marta one day before my four-day trip to the lost city, I was told that my excursion was canceled. I was in a total bind, and in Santa Marta with nothing to do for four days, so I went ahead and paid the extra money and started my excursion the next day one day late. I did not appreciate the one day delay, nor the extra $300 I was made to pay, but continued with the excursion because it was still the best of my options. Other than that the excursion was fantastic.
