I book a transfer from 3 PM and at 2 PM they texted me they want to pick me up right now and otherwise have to cancel the trip. It just doesnt make any sense to me - why was the transfer listed for 3 PM if it's not possible. I booked it a day before.

My departure time was changed to one hour before the actual departure time. This stressed me a bit but everything was communicated super well and the journey was very well organised with enough breaks and a good guide.
