“We selected this tour given the highly rated reviews on viator. At the beginning of the tour we went through various food stops but there really wasn’t much information until the last half hour.

“Carlos our tour guide was very accommodating which was very much appreciated. But I must say he was also very unprofessional. While on tour he was texting and driving and even taking FaceTime calls during the cable car portion.

There is a time and place for those calls to be taken in my opinion and it was flat out unprofessional and not the time.”
