“The tour is great. You can stop and start as you like. We learned a lot and were happy for the tour. Only issue is I paid twice because when I downloaded the app I hadn’t yet gotten the Viator email with code and instructions. So if you buy through trip advisor, wait a few minutes and follow instructions in the email. When you download the app, it asks you to pay but the email has a code.”
