“The bus tour, sights and locations were wonderful and the tour guides added a personal touch. We enjoyed the day What we did NOT enjoy was the lunch as the quality of the food was poor and service very poor, almost rude. The restaurant manager in particular was argumentative, abrupt and confronting. I came to the aid of a young family he was bullying when I saw he made their young children cry. He then became abusive to me. The other members of the tour witnessed this. I was appalled”
