If it was a scheduled inspection, why accept our booking in the first place?! This followed our glass boat tour being cancelled because not enough people signed up. Yet our tours were both confirmed well before we flew into Pula. Both tours cancelled at the last minute, before we could schedule something else. Brutal. Thanks Viator.”
