Did not show up

The tour operator that confirmed by email that they would come for the tour two months in advance did not show up, so we did not go on this tour with Viator. Please check tour operators more carefully in the future as we almost missed our opportunity to see the sites planned as they close early in the afternoon.

It's a bird, it's a cult!

Our tour guide Chris was extremely knowledgeable and easy going. His educational background in history was evident. He introduced us to the museum first which was helpful. Expert delivery of the story of the Birdman Cult. We would strongly recommend him as your tour guide. Thank you Chris!
