Lisa_V, Sep 2024
Our guide, Rimmel, was very knowledgeable and patient with our group. Her explanation about the intricacies of what we were looking at helped our understanding of the history and significant activities at that time.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you so much.

I won't take a tour again with Viator. I paid 200 for a lousy trip

CORAZONB_V, May 2024
I won't recommend this tour to my friends. It was a lousy trip. The operator were unfriendly and lacks customer service.
