1.00We were not able to participate in the tour due to lack of knowledge of the viator consultant I bought the ticket from. We were waiting for our hotel pick up for about 15 minutes, come to find out when I called Viator that we won't be picked up since pick ups are only for private tours. Camille was nice enough to offer us for rescheduling, unfortunate, we are State bound the next day. Viator agreed to refund, but the point us it caused us unnecessary stress. Morale of the story, consultants should know what their products are. Bad for the company, for now, I am staying away from this company!!!

5.00Out of respect, wear appropriate clothing since you are going to visit a functioning church. Observe silence and proper decorum while in the church.
