This tour is not VIP. The tour guide talked in a whisper voice about what I don't know as I couldn't hear hear. She dropped us off in the park after 30 minutes and gave us a 14.00 ticket, that was the extent of the tour. From there we did everything on our own. Other tours provided guides that did have front of line access, I witnessed them. DO NOT BUY THIS TOUR!!! I have used Viator for a long time and pleased but this was a huge disappointment!

Leanne was a fun guide that was extremely knowledgeable of the three areas that we toured. She gave us a historical timeline of each area, yet kept us involved and interested! We would highly recommend Leanne as a tour guide!

This tour company was awful. The lady who met us in the morning was completely unorganized and couldn't figure out what customers were supposed to get wristbands or tickets. The tour started 20 minutes late because she couldn't get her act together. Then, part way into the tour one of the guests realized she wasn't given the correct tickets and we had to wait for that to be corrected. I paid for 4 adults and 1 child (because 2 of the kids were teens) on Viator. They gave me child tickets for the teens (a $10 difference per kid). Our actual guide (Afia) was lovely and excellent at her job - I think she needs to find a new company to work with!

Affea is the guide and actually this review is not talking about the actual 5 hours you spent with the guide. The tickets you are referring to are group tickets and you are paying for a fully escorted guided tour. Here you received fast track access to the Ferry and we upgraded you to the Pedestal which you did not pay for. I will speak to the manager and make sure the tour leaves more on time.
