Tour company was easy to find and very efficient. Driver was informative and friendly. Would recommend it to others. Only negative was expected more seafood at lunch.
Tour operator didn’t show!!!!! We took a $40 taxi to their downtown office which didn’t exist! This excursion was a pick up at cruise ship pier
Tour guide never showed up, phones were on answer machine only , web page says temporarily closed, and calls and messages to Viator did not get us any help whatsoever.
Fabulous time. The beach meal was not very good but overall great time. Our guide was outstanding and we had time to do a little shopping for souvenirs.
Very disorganized on pickup location. Called WOW Tours twice and left voice-mails that were not returned. The tour description indicated authentic lunch buffet...NO!
Booked through Shore Excursions Group. Although we did this a previous year; we enjoyed it just as much. Our guide, Jesus was outstanding! Coconut shrimp lunch at a table in the sand by the water was fabulous. Just like I remembered!!
