1.00Don’t book with Viator. We are $758.00 out of pocket. We never received the confirmation email to specify what time we would be picked up and the bus left without us even though we were there. The one and only ticket we received said 8 a.m at the top. They left at 7:46. Customer service is terrible. Once we finally could communicate with someone they didn’t listen to our side of the story and kept insisting we were notified but we weren’t. Shocker. They don’t care about us being out of the money.
Best experience ever!

5.00An amazing day!! Everything from beginning to end was so enjoyable and Andre and Jack went out of their way to ensure everyone was having the best time. Andre was such an informative person with loads of experience. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough. Possibly the best I’ve ever done plus added bonus of seeing a bear!! Thank you Andre and Jack!!!
