3.00The location and guide were in 2 different places and we seemed to be an add on. They were also 30 min late for a timed entry. The guide, while knowledgeable, was very hard to understand and didn’t slow her speak after 3x requesting.
Beware the stairs

1.00No where in the tour description does it mention that to see the entire tour you had to climb 5 flights of stairs. My wife cannot climb stairs. When I learned this, at the tour desk, I asked before we got tickets if we could get a refund. Of course the answer was NO. So buyer beware. We would have selected a different tour if this were advised in the Viator description. Very unhappy with Viator on this one. $197 wasted
