A big RIP-OFF and waste of money!!!

A big RIP-OFF and waste of money!!!
We (a friend of mine and myself) booked the evening escape-snowmobile safari and camp fire for 169 each (single driving). The lady at the reception promised us a tour of between 20-30 km like it is shown on the flyer. The gear for the tour you get is average. Helmet, scarf, gloves, shoes and an overall (all included). Once you are dressed the shuttle is waiting for you outside to get you to the start point which was a 30 minutes drive from the town office. After a short 5 minute introduction about how to handle the snowmobile the tour started (the tour guide didn t inform well and looked like he was in a rush). It was a 30 minute ride to the camp fire place with an average speed of around 10 Km/h. Which means a total distance of around 5 km. We stayed there for about 45 minutes. The way back to the shuttle service was slightly longer than 30 minutes and also 5 km. That means in total we did 10 km in one hour which is not even close to 20-30 km what we got promised on our booking and which also is written on the brochure.
I exactly know the distance because it is shown on the display on the snowmobile!!! Being honest, it is only a safari for children and parent s never experienced something similar before. NOT WORTH THE MONEY for somebody looking for an adventure!!! Even after having asked the tour stuff how many km we did today, one of the guys answered that with an average speed of 20 km/h we made a total distance of at least 20 km. Which was just a big lay.
NEVER AGAIN SAFARTICA - In my opinion this is purely a rip off for tourists
