My holiday with JV was terrible. The schedule was changed daily. The coach was old with no proper air con and a loose window that threatened to fall out! One day it broke down and we had to wait for a repair. The tour guide (self employed independent) had no communication skills. Despite being a native of SA he seemed to have very little knowledge of some of the places we visited. When there was any change, he told one or two people and relied on them to pass it on. I asked more than once for him to set up a WhatsApp group, but he ignored this. One couple were left behind on Robbin Island and had to make their own way back to the hotel. The scheduling was awful; one time we were on the coach for about 6 hours. We would leave early and get to our next hotel too late to explore the local area. To be fair the guide did have a lot of problems with the Johannesburg office re this and tried to get some things changed. We arrived in one hotel on a Saturday night to find the main restaurant closed so we all had to cram into the smaller Italian. Originally I was told it would be a group of 12 when in fact it was combined with another tour making it 20 people, not what I signed up for. It was only my fellow travellers that made it bearable. I will never use Jule Verne again.
