    DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. They do a terrible job alerting people where they are and when they are leaving. I was there 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time looking for my guide. The text they shared said they would be be a white flag, which they were not. When I finally found the people I was 6 minutes past scheduled departure and was told I was SOL. Nothing to be done. No refunds. Etc.

    Francesca was a delight. She was so well spoken, knowledgeable and funny. She kept the deluge of information easy to understand and well spaced out. Strategic breaks in the shade were extremely welcome!

    It is not a guided tour. They just send you a link for an app an a map to follow. For that amount of money, you could save it and spend it on a nice dinner. Tourist catch

    Very unhappy with our tour experience…since this tour company didn’t do a very good job notifying me that the tour time had changed. We missed our tour since they only sent a notice through WhatsApp and never bothered to try to contact me via email or even a call when I clearly didn’t get the notice. On top of that, they still charged me! Unbelievable, and what really pissed me off was I had to rearrange my original schedule because they canceled my first booking for some mystery reason… At least they sent me that notice through email/Viator and not WhatsApp so I got that notice. Very unsatisfied costumer
