The pickup after the tour was very unorganized. There were so many people and all the vans looked aliked. I had to call the guy to ask him where he was at. Once we boarded the air-conditioning was off. We had to tell the driver to turn it on. Then he dropped us off far away from our Airbnb because he claimed the streets were closed. We ended up taking an Uber which cost me and the roads were not closed. There was just traffic. It wasn't as pleasant as I thought it wouldn't be.
Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that our boat has a capacity of 250 guests, and tables and seating are arranged according to the number of passengers. Drinks are not included, as clearly stated in the tour details. Regarding the return transfer, you were dropped off at Perma Pera Hotel, approximately a 4-minute walk from your Airbnb. Due to the vehicle restrictions around Istiklal Street, this was the closest accessible drop-off point for the vehicle. We are sorry if this caused any inconvenience, but we believe it is important to clarify these details for future guests.
