Viator took our payment for 11:00 am tour then the tour operator phoned to advise that they could not supply until 2:00 pm. We could not accept 2:00 pm as we were due to board our ship for a 5:00 pm sailing. Viator are trying to only repay 80%. We are disputing as we are blameless.

Roberta_B

Our guide was very informative and also funny. We learned so much about the the history of Finland which was fascinating. She had a great sense of humor and had us laughing at her stories. Igor, the driver, was also funny and informative. We would certainly have them again.
