Fun date night! - Yum and fun! Took the lady out for a night on the town while we were here on vacation. I was skeptical at first but ended up loving the whole tour. My wife had a blast too but anything with cocktails is right up her alley!

Disappointed - The tour guide Shea contacted us. I mistakenly thought it started at 5:30. I immediately texted him back that we were on our way. We arrived at the meeting point exactly 10 minutes late. I have done numerous tours thru Viator and have waited at least that long for others. They were supposed to be at the meeting point (it was a bar) for 40 minutes according to the itinerary. We searched. They were not there. Phone and texts were not answered. Very disappointing. I have recommended Viator to others and will not do so any more.
