Toerbroers NEVER AGAIN !!

Toerbroers NEVER AGAIN ! What a disorganized rip-off ! Firstly the tour price was set at R 19.00 to the US$. The Rand became stronger and was at R 16,67 when the tour started. No refund or discount was given for the stronger rand ! The tourists were lured to Zanzibar with Gerhard Steyn (singer) as the bait. Although Steyn was there in person he did NOT PERFORM once !! Airline tickets were bought at the last minute - we were supposed to fly directly to Zanzibar with FlySafair but at the last minute Kenia Airways were cheaper. That meant flying to Nairobi with an hour stop-over, having to go through the border security search again and another hour's flight to Zanzibar. With 2 hours on a bus and horrible roads we had 9 hours in transit instead of 5 hours if we flew directly to Zanzibar, The "All-inclusive" package included very mediocre food and a small selection of horrible (local ****) drinks. One even had to pay for a Cuppachino !! The "4 Star Resort" did not even make 3 stars !! We were given the cheapest rooms at the back of the resort with absolutely no view. The buildings had no elevators (3 stories), the rooms are old and run-down with NO TV, no fridge, and no lounge chairs. The shower in our room was spilling water all over the bathroom with the result that we had to put towels on the floor to try and stop the water from running into the bedroom. Luckily we ONLY went on one of the so called tours which was again a rip-off and a waste of money. We were charged R 1,750 (the price advertised was $ 100 thus R 1667.00). The "tour guides" kept on making excuses for the problems and were of very little help to anybody. My advise is rather do your homework and book your own holiday but STAY AWAY from TOERBROERS !!
