“A friend and I were in the area for 2 full days, 9/28/19-9/29/19. We wanted to make the most of it, so scheduled this for our first full day. This is a long tour day (10 hrs +/-), especially on the weekends since traffic makes getting between destinations so slow. Bogdan was our guide. We would definitely ask for him by name if we came back. Even though it took so long with the traffic, he wanted to make sure we saw and experienced everything. He was very knowledgeable. When we would enter an area or room, he would share information about it and let us explore on our own.…”

“Unfortunately, I cannot award this zero stars so have given it one star. We waited at the start time in the freezing cold snow at the meeting point and no one showed up. We then contacted the tour operator who told us that it had been cancelled. Then we got an email from Viator saying that the operator had requested a refund (after the tour should have started). Extremely disappointed as we were only here for one day and this was going to be the highlight of the trip, I feel really let down by the tour operator and Viator. Had we known before today, we might have been able…”
