The badest experience ever!!!

UweJens_S, Jan 2026
First of all, we tried three days before our tour to contact with the agency and they did'nt answer at all. We asked if everything was ok and NO answer. At the main day , we were waiting at the hotel on 6am and nothing happend. We waited fir an hour and no one called or sent an email. With the help from the hotel workers we made a call and they said the car was broken , they had to change , they come in half an hour. Nothing happend. Than they sent an email, the driver was at the hospital because he got sick. After that they wrote the driver is in a bad trafic, eöwe have to wait. After over 2 hours they picked us up with a private taxi. This driver did'nt know exactly what to do. He called all the time the agency to ask. Anyway, our experience was not what we were lookin forward. We lost time from our holidays and paid for a tour that was not correct with the charges. For us , it was the worst tour we ever had. We wait for an answer, because we send 3 o 4 times email to Support Viator and they never answered. We hope at least that we the charge or a part of it back. It was for us not worth. 242 Euros did'nt correspond this bad experience.

Fun tour

Super nice surroundings at the lion rock the climb can indeed be spicy. The temple we expected more of. Was smaller than expected and were quickly outside again. The driver is the driver and not the guide. And as a driver he did a super good job! Lunch was also very good. So all in all worth a neat 5 stars considering the complete picture
