    Catering was poor quality. The underwater observatory was crammed and hardly saw anything. The only experience I enjoyed was the skoobydoo and it was not included in the package. I had to pay $185 extra for that.

  • Highly recommend Viator for anyone planning their next adventure — reliable, organized, and truly customer-focused.
