“Although very early for the hour and having waited 30 minutes later, we only saw a red umbrella but who was visiting in Spanish and did not work for viator. So total disappointment. No message or call to indicate a possible cancellation. On the other hand the cost of the reservation has been debited. We saw a few newlyweds on the balcony of the city hall as entertainment in waiting. Finally we managed by ourselves for the visit, but it ruined our start of stay.Auto-translated”
