It was a very good experience. Pilot was good. The only real input/ process correction is that Viator’s directions to the meeting spot were terrible. I would have liked more info about the areas we were flying over maybe hoover over and explain history,
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for flying with us. We apologize for the confusing directions and have worked with Viator to update how our customers receive directions.
