Review of the Blyde River Canyon tour from Hazyview, with God's Window, Three Rondavels, Bourke's Luck potholes, and a boat cruise.
“The guide begins by telling us that the trip takes 10 and not 8 hours as indicated. Then he doesn't stop at God's Window where the trip would otherwise start... When we get to the boat there are two more hours, it sails... When we ask how it is that we have to wait so long and why we haven't stopped at God's Window, the guide refuses to answer and just says it's our own fault... Really sad experience. We didn't get what we paid for and instead wasted several hours for nothing.”
