Customer Reviews

Debra field.

We paid much more then others Last minute was $75 per person

Karen Capel

The guides were all fabulous and there were lots of busses. The only problem was the initial boarding system at the cruise terminal. We had tickets but were made to stand in line for over 30 minutes with all the people who did not have tickets. It was very poorly organized.

Tim Oconnell

Easy to buy tickets on line.
