We were a shuttle bus with most time waisted - We booked a trip to playa blanca and the Oceonario.
They put us on a boat with various different tours so we ended up being a shuttle bus to many different stops that were not ours!!! Finally we get to the Oceonario They told me the stop would be 35 to 45 min.... kind of short but ok they continued on with the rest of the group to do snorkling afyer finoshing up Oceonario we wanted for our boat in the hot sun... it finaly arrived late.... then to my surprise the rest of tje Group was let in to Oceonario so we waited in the hot sun for almost 2 hours.
They should of just told us our stop at Oceonario was longer and we would have taken our time. Then they picked up new passangers on another different tour!!!! We spent so much time as a shuttle boat dropimg off people at places we did not book. The boat staff was rude and was arguing and fighting with passengers. We did not book Cholon, nor lizamar nor other stops we did!!! I have taken many any tours in Cartagena and this is the worst experience I have had!!!!!
It could be great if they were organized and told you the truth and don't book different tours on the same boat!!!!!
An absoulute waste of time and a stressful day...... I would avoid this tour until they get it straight!!!!!!
