Mistreatment of the guest - The Customer Service person when I called him to tell him I was going to be late so I would like to get to the next place instead of answering me hung up, when I called back he told me I had to pay for the ticket and yelled at me until I had to make a third call and contact someone else. The guide was a very friendly person had a lot of knowledge and knew how to resolve all my concerns, but he was a little upset in front of my dress as I wore shorts and only alluded to me believing that it was summer, which became reiterative and uncomfortable. If the places were interesting and the transport was comfortable.
