Unfortunately they canceled my trip two days before so I wouldn’t know what to rate.Newport beach was amazing!

Mahalingam_P

The trip was nice and enjoyable. Only disadvantage was if you want to change ship they charge extra money. That should be avoided

The transportation portion of the trip was very stressful, giving little time to get from one place to another. Didn't even get to do the "island tour" because then we wouldn't have had time to eat between the undersea expedition and getting back on the ferry back and we never got information of how to do the tour once we returned from the undersea expedition. It said the tour would be 12 hours, but in reality, it was 8am-5pm. Disappointing to say the least.

Valerie_R

I was told we would have a tour guide when when we got to the island which was not the case. I was also told that I would be given partial refund which has not happened yet.

My EXPERIENCE was awesome we had a blast however we had time changed on us and we missed our under sea tour. This is why I’m giving a 2 star. We called and Catalina express (who changed our time) and they said it should of all been in the email which it was not. The Arabian man over the phone was extremely rude did not want to help and basically blamed us. They just did not want to help at all and told us there was no more space. I ended up speaking to one of the tour guides from Catalina and she was soooo helpful squeezed into another time and got to experience

My least favorite part was not being prepared to take advantage of all the activities. I enjoyed Catalina, it was a foggy day but it's best to go in the warmer months.

Unfortunately when we got to Catalina Express Ferry , they told us that ferry trips to Catalina had been cancelled for the day. We had to go back home and we’re not able to do excursion. I called the tour operator and they talked to the ferry company. Ferry company said there was nothing they can do. Can Viator help me ensure I get a full refund from the tour operator???? Please keep me informed. Thanks, Regina Batista
