    Aviator is a 3rd party company to the Tour. If any issue occurs the on-site operators can only refer you back to them for rescheduling or refunds. There are two locations to check-in for the tour, and that fact is not emphasized enough, leading very often to going to the wrong one. Tour operators told us that this occurs often which reinforces the need to prioritize the correct location, maybe listing this information in each ticket. We had 4/9 of our family unable to go on the tour as we had to change to a later tour and it was too late in the day for young children, having traveled a long distance.

  • So good I did it twice!
