“The VERY WORST experience or activity I’ve ever booked with Viator. The bus stops were impossible to find, their English was horrible, the guys on the streets trying to sell you tickets to the bus if you tried to ask questions would LITERALLY WALK OFF. In 3 days we rode the bus once. Complete waste of money. We had to uber the remaining time on our trip. Btw. The bus isn’t even heated when it was freezing outside. Be sure to stand in the correct blue or red line even thou it’s hard to understand what they are are saying to do because again you get YELLED AT.”
