Customer Reviews
Virgin experiences gave us the wrong starting point, which delayed the tour by 20 minutes. The local guide told me that he has told Virgin Experiences numerous times to correct the starting point but that you ignore it.
Response from Virgin Gifts
Gosh we are so sorry that you had a delayed start due to confusion with the starting point. We will certainly review our literature here - thank you for taking the time to share this with us!
