It was a price worthy booking if you planning to go for both. I thought it would be better to let useds know the time of the tour while they are booking because I didn't know the tour starts at 10am for my booking since there is no option for me to choose timeslot. Thankfully the operator allowed me to jointhe next tour timeslot and all is good！
