“It took me so long to post this review, as I wanted to be certain to give it the time and attention it needed. This stop was one of many on a 10-day European cruise and this was our FAVORITE excursion, by far! We loved our guide, Ty and even made a Christmas ornament with a pic of us and him to savor the sweet memories. :) Ty communicated with us in advance and even allowed us to change to an earlier start, if we were up to it, in an effort to improve the experience for us (less crowded). Ty met us at the port as expected (with clear…”

“Wow! Such an awesome experience. My family and I were taking a cruise and decided to book with Viator instead of the cruise line. First because it was less expensive and second, it was a private tour. Our tour guide Bugra, who now we consider family, was above and beyond expiations. He gave us such an amazing complete custom tour of each site. You could really feel the passion and pride he has for home.
