Although our guide was very nice and very knowledgeable, he was very difficult to understand (very broken English), the speaker system was too low to hear when we could understand him, and the microphones and ear pieces kept taking turns shutting off on the group. Unfortunately, Viator also refused to refund any of our money for this tour. This was our first tour with Viator, and we were very disappointed.
