I felt Viator could bring down the price of this tour as it was fairly pricy for what it was. I also feel that the commentary on the blurb of this experience is slightly misleading. On the first page it states entrance fees of sites are paid for but if you scroll to the itinerary it states otherwise.”

“Buyer Beware!!! The itinerary clearly states walking along the river. However, when we asked to go down the guide said this wasn’t included in the tour. Also you don’t visit the ferry chimneys and take an extra stop at a shop before dropoff… we missed sunset. I would definitely book a different tour. When we spoke to Viator they contacted the tour operator and claimed the government closed walking along the river. However we saw people walking along it. Disappointed in Viator and this tour operator.”
