“I do not recommend purchasing your tickets to the Big Bus tour through Viator, if at all. The tour operator did not respond to any of my messages regarding the excursion. Due to the unresponsiveness, we did not get to go on the bus at all, and were not even offered a refund. I feel very ripped off given these tickets were not cheap (and included a boat tour we did not receive either). Take your business elsewhere!”
