Great Tour and Wonderful guide - Sal was an amazing tour guide. He had great understanding of the island and made the trip so great. The driving was a little fast, but I enjoyed it. If you can get Sal as your guide you will learn a lot about the history of the island and the locals. Love it!!

Catalina - Great. I had a wonderful time. Catalina is nice to visit and lots of things to do. Of course, any time of the year...witha group or solo.

Sal was a fantastic naturalist! - Sal made it wonderful! Really enjoyed his commentary and sense of humor. Got to travel to all the places we wanted to see, just couldn’t see due to the fog. We didn’t see any wildlife but did appreciate all the flora and fauna. Could have done without the recorded audio on the way back.

Interrupted trip - The vehicle got a broken water hose from driving over a big rock and we had to turn around before we got to the airport. Very disappointing trip. They said our money would be refunded. I hope it is!

Do not use Viator - I showed up late by 10 minutes. The ride had already left. I was told by the operator that I could get my money back. But when I called your customer service, I was told a lot of incorrect information. I did not get my money back.
