“We believed this was a tour of 1-4 people based on the description. It is not. I rated it 3 stars because if I had known that we would be 17 people, then perhaps it would have been acceptable for those that like that type of tour. The tour providers were pleasant and knowledgeable so my only disappointment was in my expectations based on the tour description on Viator”
