Because I was dumped for six days due to be honest about testing positive for Covid (which I caught from my fellow travellers who did not admit it). The Covid policy the company has miraculously was only available after I returned and complained. All my Comms during my stay that requested proof of this policy were ignored.

With it being a classic tour, it had a equal balance of culture, history and some relaxing time to enjoy the beaches or do other options as you choose.
