5.00It was brilliant, enjoyed every minute! Would recommend to a friend saying it's very safe with a friendly guide all the way through who is very safety conscious!!👍 Definitly recommend comfy but proper walking shoes plus sunglasses as sun can be quite dazzling in places obscuring the view!!👍 Again it was an excellent experience and would highly recommend it to a friend with the proviso of course that they didn't mind heights!!👍 Many thanks for the experience!! 👍🥰❤
Bus driver never showed up

1.00Our bus driver never showed up so obviously we did not get to go on our tour. We were at the correct designated pickup points 10 minutes early and made numerous attempts to contact them. Communication has been very poor with Viator. I contacted Viator who then contacted the tour company for a refund but have been told that will not be happening. I have followed up with them, providing even more proof of what happened, and should they change their mind, I will write a new positive review. In the meantime, I would never recommend using Viator and will certainly not use it again myself.
Great Destination, Haphazard Organization

3.00The Caminito is amazing, a 5. I gave the 3 solely because of our experience with the tour operator. There were pre designated pick up points when we booked and we picked one and then the day of the tour lo and behold there were a whole bunch more stops not listed for onesies and twosies, several out of the way, that added a fair amount of wasted driving time. The Caminto entrances and exits are crowded and there are many large groups mixed in with each other, no stickers or good standard processes which you would expect to minimize confusion or ease of identifying the guides in the crowds. Several of us experienced this and finally were also confused by location for bus pick up point at end of Caminito, not told time or location before the walk but luckily bumped into guide. Asked begore, but Still waiting to hear if there is a toilet on the bus. Don’t want to make a big deal over petty grievances, but this operator doesn’t have it together. Go to Caminito, but pay a little extra for a small group tour.
You must be in good shape
