点评:Like other recent reports, we were stood up by Go Highlands Tours. I wish I had seen some of these reviews before booking them.
In mid February I contacted Joshua via email to set up a private personalized one-day tour of Panama City. I was sent an invoice on February 17 for $125 per person which felt a little steep but was promised optional biking experience with bicycles safety gear and drone shots provided. It sounded perfect! One thing that felt weird at the time was that the invoice was #1000. It seemed too clean a number to be a real invoicing system and the footer on the printout does indeed say it came from bookipi, a free invoicing app.
I didn’t hear anything further as our tour date Sunday March 29 approached. On the 28h I sent both an email and a WhatsApp. The WhatsApp confirmed our tour and pickup time at 9 am.
On the morning of the 29th, I awoke to a 6:30 am message saying that due to a “loss” our tour guide “won’t be in the best condition to personally attend your tour today” offering a different guide at 1 pm, a reschedule for the next day (we were already leaving by then), or a refund.
2.5 days later my response message has never been read, even though Go Highlands has been active on WhatsApp since. I emailed as well asking for a refund with no response.
Thankfully Chris from Chris Panamá Experience was available through this site at short notice, and we had a great day touring Panama on Sunday. He was less expensive as a bonus. Definitely recommend Chris.
翻译:和其他近期报道一样,我们被Go Highlands Tours放了鸽子。真希望在预订之前就看到这些评论。
二月中旬,我通过电子邮件联系了Joshua,预订了巴拿马城一日私人定制游。2月17日,我收到了一张每人125美元的账单,感觉有点贵,但他们承诺会提供可选的骑行体验,包括自行车、安全装备和无人机拍摄。听起来很完美!当时让我觉得奇怪的是,账单上的数字是1000。这个数字太整齐了,不像是正规的账单系统开具的,而且打印出来的账单底部也确实显示账单来自Bookipi,一个免费的账单应用程序。
随着3月29日星期日的临近,我再也没有收到任何消息。28日,我同时发送了电子邮件和WhatsApp消息。WhatsApp消息确认了我们的行程和上午9点的接送时间。
29日早上,我被一条6:30发来的消息吵醒,说由于“有人受伤”,我们的导游“今天身体状况不佳,无法亲自带团”,并提出可以安排另一位导游下午1点出发,或者改期到第二天(那时我们已经要离开了),或者退款。
两天半过去了,我的回复信息仍然杳无音信,尽管Go Highlands的WhatsApp账号一直很活跃。我也发了邮件要求退款,但同样没有回复。
幸好,Chris Panamá Experience的Chris通过这个网站及时接单,我们周日在巴拿马度过了非常愉快的一天。更棒的是,他的价格也更实惠。强烈推荐Chris!
