Oddly nice customer service but no resolution. My friend hurt her back the morning before our tour, so I reached out to both La Vacanza Travel and the tour company to inquire about one day further our (to give her time to rest her back). Both places told me that they’d love to help and confirmed that the next day was, in fact available, however they could not authorize the change without the other party’s consent. I had both, but they didn’t talk to one another so I ate the cost of both tickets. Definitely believe the fine print on changes within 24 hours of your booking

The guided tour was about 75 minutes. The guide was very informative. The rest of the time you are free to explore the gardens on your own. Very good tour, though the approx four hours given is way off (thankfully)
