Hello, is this tour currently available? We have booked it three times over the last two weeks, and it has been canceled each time. I’m just wondering if it’s worth trying to book it again. If it’s not available, please clearly state this in the description. Each time we booked it, it was canceled the evening before, which really ruined all our plans! We’re so keen to do this tour but it doesn’t seem to be available.
