"Don't waste your money!"

The description of the trip is not what happened the day we took it. You do not visit the lavender farm, but instead are dropped off at a market that I would've never gone to if I were on my own. The dinner that is described is not what was served. It was like eating at a banquet event, cold food And no flavor. Company does not care about the weather and should cancel tour if they know you will not see anything. It was rainy and foggy and had to stay in bus. In addition the bus driver was very unprofessional. I'm glad I did not have children with me since his language it was something I would want my grandchildren to hear.
