Overall, a great tour! - RE VIP City Tour: This tour was great! Our tour guide and driver were very accommodating. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. I loved walking around the city and getting a feel for the culture and lifestyle in places like San Jose’s Central Market and downtown retail area. The highlight was the delicious meal at the end of the tour. I also liked that the tour was not too long but also not too short. Just the right length! RE Viator: I was traveling solo and the Viator booking website said there was a two person minimum. So I booked for two people just to get the reservation. On the tour, I learned that other solo travelers on the tour had not been required to pay for two tickets. I’m not sure how they booked their reservation. But I definitely didn’t like the double standard. If a direct booking with the touring company would have eliminated the 2-person minimum booking, Viator should place that on their website and instruct solo travelers to book directly with the touring company.

Average Tour - It’s was nice seeing everything but it was unnecessarily rushed. The tour ended up being 3 hours and not 5 hours like it says in the ad. Hector was nice and very knowledgeable! The pick up from hotels was a long process. The live guitar playing & singing was a nice touch. The dinner was very very good!
