1.00Cancelled this tour the day before, it was supposed to be refunded. Operator falsely claimed it was not cancelled. So they charged me in full. Very very STRESSFUL, on the phone many times but get nowhere. Incompetent staff & website flaws, unauthorized bookings by Viator. Taking payment without accurate date confirmation. Never use VIATOR! Terrible

5.00We were a group of 6 women and 1 man. Johanna led the tour very nicely. Everything was very interesting and informative. Despite a thunderstorm and a short "break," the tour was great and Johanna told us a lot. I was very satisfied. The group size was perfect, so Johanna could also address everyone and answer questions well.
