4.00Bus tour was supposed to have WiFi but we could never get in. The tour guide referred to the slideshow we were supposed to watch but with no WiFi we couldn’t see it. Good microphone system. No enough time at any place. Very quick stops
Bad timing

1.00Started badly when guide tried to give everyone wifi code this took over 20 mins and still didn't get WiFi The guide could not speak English apart from the odd word we could understand. We were on bus for 1 and a half hours before seeing anything. He took us to a market which was basically a few shops Then to a church which was closed for a mass. Was a complete waste of money Got dropped back at port and opposite was a market which was far better and a lovely square with shops and bars We could have quite easily done arch better tour ourselves walking from port instead of sitting on a bus for over 3 hours listening to guide trying take himself understood.

1.00Horrendous. Booked a small party tour - needed up in a bus with 50. Due to the size couldn’t park no where. Missed the parliament building (oh couldn’t park). Guide could not understand (due to his) accent he could speak English - but you couldn’t understand with the accent.
Disappointing

Reputable Company, honors refunds when Port stops canceled due to weather

5.00We were unable to go on this shore excursion because our cruise ship couldn’t dock due to strong winds. I informed Viator that since we did not foresee this port stop being canceled, we did not cancel 24 hours prior. Viator reached out to the tour company and after a couple days refunded us our tour payment. Thank you for your understanding and professionalism.
Super beautiful and well organized tour. It's very worth it.

5.00Very good. New van, friendly guide and very good. Well-planned stops. Nothing to complain about. The cost benefit was also very good. They only made a confusion with the ship's arrival time but in the end it all worked out.
