Worth going

Published on Sep, 2024

Great views from topnof the lighthouse and on the drive. Driver was also very nice this is a lovely wee trip

Very nice short excursion

Published on Jul, 2024

We were a very small group, no tour leader but driver was very nice. The was one with the voice guides. The light house visit was very nice. Was worth it

Lovely country

Published on Sep, 2023

The tour was very enjoyable. The tour guide was very informative and pointed out many scenic areas along the way. All the stops provided beautiful scenery and views with good descriptions from our guide

Great trip; only a bit rush

Published on Aug, 2023

The views were spectacular! The trip was a bit too rushed. Wish we had a few more minutes at each stop, especially at the ancient church (first stop). It would've been nice to be able to walk around the church and the very quaint streets around it!

Viator is a good company for travel in Europe.

Published on Jun, 2023

I missed one trip from Viator due to pick up schedule changed one day before. Please advise can I get a refund for this trip. Since my phone did not work on the ship from time to time I did not see the change in time. Thanks, Johnson. I was on Apex from 6/18-25 cruise to Norway.
