Traveler reviews
Very pleasant experience
Well-organized tour, very knowledgeable guide, and very courteous staff
Viator NOT worthed.
Nothing funny about this Viator Trip! I absolutely definitely will be asking for my money back, and maybe and I mean maybe I will give Viator another try in the future since this was an absolute joke. The communication has said, the person will be wearing yellow shirt! Blue shirt, and 2 guys were no help with downloading the app to listen to the whatever you were going to hear about the Palace! They just dumped you at the door and Wam Bam Thank you man theyr gone no t responsible for anything. I am definitely going to ask for my money back either by Viator or my credits card company. Very unprofessional unhelpful and wasted our time.
