“We were messed around. They took payment confirmed and then last minute told us there was no chef for Friday but the could accommodate on Saturday. Friday came so I checked with them. After many messages and calls they did not have a chef for Saturday! We missed another excursion because of them not being honest early. They also confirmed we were the only two.
