Mission accomplished but that’s all

4.00This was the first time I’ve ever purchase a skip the line ticket. The directions to the assembly point were clear. Once everyone who had purchased the same time slot as we did, a representative led us to the entry point, said ‘you’re in your own’ and left. I’m not sure what I was expecting but someone with a little more personality and who could at least say thank you or enjoy your experience would have been nice.

1.00Was supposed to be a small group but group had 26 people. Tour guide did not have a flag so difficult to keep track of. She held up wrapped paper documents. Not nearly as interesting a tour guide as the other ones we attended.
Highly recommend!

1.00The tour guide literally dropped us to the gate and said nothing then walked away! I was traveling solo and had no idea what do, where to meet back up or any instructions!
Good tour once you find the meeting spot

2.00The guide was very good, but the meeting spot that was in the Viator app was not even close. We al.ost missed the tour because of the incorrect information on the app
