Hotel pick up is a standard practice. However the hotel drop off service was a super bonus which I haven’t encountered with other tour groups in other countries.
It was a very pleasant tour, lovely tour guide and delicious lunches.

We missed the pick up at 8am. We asked if we could just meet up with the group and we’re told no. $200 down the drain. Not happy. Customer service person was so rude.
