We had booked numerous other tours and never had problem. This one was the other extreme, We booked tour knowing we would need guide and pay additional as driver would add nothing. s indicated by others. Our guide was good and knowledgeable but at end she skipped the mansion and beach. When we contacted viator we were told we could not prove our point and driver and guide assured that we had not skipped anything which was absurd. This is expensive tour and not worth money. Even if all was included but certainly not worth it for what we received. One last point. On every other tour with a guide we were offered water. On this one no water and guide went and got water for herself and did not even ask much less supply.

Dear Customer,
I'm genuinely sorry to hear about the challenges you encountered during your recent tour experience.
I'm surprised by your review because you didn't express any concerns during the tour, and we didn't receive any communication from VIATOR requesting changes to the tour itinerary.
It's important to note that we provide an emergency phone number and 24/7 support, so if you had contacted us during the tour, we could have addressed any issues or discrepancies with the itinerary on the spot.
Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your tour, and we appreciate your feedback to help us improve our services in the future.

I enjoyed our private tour guide and driver, but felt the tour was way overpriced for what was received. We thought the beach part of tour would be an actual place where we could get in the water but was a drive by the water. Our tour guide did try to make up for it and we had a lovely drink at a restaurant next to the water. Lunch was not available, however, as it was before noon. Tour lasted about 3.25 hours which was less than advertised. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. I would still recommend but hopefully price will be adjusted for future travelers.

We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our tour guide and driver's services, and we appreciate your kind words about their knowledge and communication.
We apologize for any misunderstandings regarding the beach portion of the tour. We understand your expectations and will take this into consideration for future tours. We're pleased to hear that our tour guide made an effort to enhance your experience by arranging a refreshing stop at a restaurant by the water.
Thank you for your recommendation despite the concerns you raised. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back in the future, providing an even better experience.

What we were able to see was incredible, but the driver did not speak any English at all. The car was old, with a bad tire, wobbled & did not have air conditioning. We were to have an English speaking driver, but did not pay for a licensed guide. Our driver could not communicate with us at all. We also thought we had him for the day for the $500+ cost, & found out later it was only for 4 hours. Our driver did take us to the beach & pick us up to return to our ship. We would have been better off hiring a taxi at the port.

Dear valued client,
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention regarding your recent experience. We deeply apologize for the inconveniences you encountered during your tour, and we appreciate your honest feedback as it helps us improve our services.
We understand your disappointment with the language barrier during the tour. It is important to note that when booking a driver-only service, the primary responsibility of the driver is to ensure your safety while driving, rather than providing extensive historical information. We apologize for any misunderstanding in this regard. We do offer the option to book a licensed tour guide for a more comprehensive experience, and it appears that you chose to proceed without one to keep the cost low.
Regarding the vehicle, we apologize for any discomfort caused by the strong driving on country roads. While the car provided was a brand new Subaru Impreza, we understand that the driving conditions may have contributed to a less-than-ideal experience.
In regards to the time spent at the monasteries, it was 10 minutes. The duration of visits can vary based on individual preferences and interests. However, we would like to highlight that we provided additional transfers to the beach and back to the ship, offering you extra convenience and transportation without any additional cost.
We would also like to clarify that you booked the tour via Viator, which is an online travel agency. Please note that when booking through a third-party platform, there may be additional fees or commissions involved.
Once again, we apologize for any shortcomings during your tour. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to improve our services. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Warm regards,
