What people are saying about Katakolo

We loved the itinerary however we were picked up in a small car which was not suitabke for 4 people to spend the day. Additionally, we had some difficulty with communication. First our driver arrived at the wrong time. (An hour early) A new driver was sent at the appropriate time but was not waiting where we were told to wait. Our driver also was not well versed in english which made communication throughout the day a little difficult.
