This is not a tour since the driver did not speak English like it was advertised!

- Review from Viator
1.00While the driver was very nice, she spoke zero English. This was not a tour whatsoever, it was a very expensive car ride and that is all! We could have saved ourselves $300 ans booked a car instead. The sights were beautiful but we learned nothing along the way like we would have with an English speaking private tour, which is what was advertised. Very disappointed! I tried to report it but Viator has no means to report the false advertising except for this review.
