Thank you for your feedback on our tour. We had some clients that were lost and we did hold the bus until they arrived out of courtesy. We explained this to everyone on the bus who were ok with this decision and we also extended the tour time to make up for the late start. We sent you a message via the portal and presented our apologies as soon as we were told just the day before that the restaurant would be closed. We advised you that we issued a refund for this portion of the tour. Unfortunately, This is a circumstance beyond our control, and for the safety of our group the restaurant preferred to close after finding out a staff member had a positive covid test. The Ranger led house tour of Hamilton Grange is not included in our tour or description. The tour is about 15 minutes for 5 people at a time as it is a very small historic site. We had a full bus so it would not have been possible to get everyone through on time. The guide gave a full presentation of the site and allowed guests free time to explore the grounds and take pictures. Whilst the group was exploring, she went to the side to have a cigarette away from the group not while she was conducting the tour. We take all feedback seriously and always strive to improve the customer experience. However, in all fairness we also received some feedback from the other guests about not being able to hear everything the guide was saying because your party kept talking during the tour. We state that we reserve the right to conduct our tours in 2 languages. We have highly trained multilingual tour guides that give historical tour details equally in both languages. This is not an easy task and when there are disruptions from people talking on their phones or speaking loudly over the tour guide causing her to ask repeatedly to keep the volume down so everyone else can hear; I am sure you would agree it certainly makes the experience more challenging for everyone. Cordially,

Very good tour guide, he could tell a mit about the parts og town we were driving through. But dissapointing little focus on the Gospel part in the church. We had expected a choir.
