CANCELLATION POLICY

I wish we had stayed in the major point of interests such as the Roman Aqueduct longer time. I only had 3 minutes there taking photos, and then we had to followed the guide to get lunch in a very crowded restaurant. By the time we went back to the point, it is time to go to other points. At least, the tour guide should have told us that if we want to get lunch there, we won't have enough time to look at the Aqueduct.
