“The meeting place was given to me incorrectly when I called Viator for a stop near hotel I was staying. I feel that more information could have been given during the commentary.”
Golden Gate Bay cruise from Pier 43 1/2, 60 minutes. See the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and Angel Island for $39.
“Got what I wanted seeing all of San Francisco bridges and Alcatraz island up close. I would have liked to hear the recorded tour a little better but maybe I was just sitting in the wrong place. Highly recommend”
A 1-hour skip-the-line Bay Cruise from Pier 39 with Sea Lions, a Golden Gate Bridge underpass, and Alcatraz views plus onboard narration.
“It was great and the cruise started on time and the experience was really good. I suggest to choose sunset time and a sunny day. During winters go around 2-3pm and summer close to sunset time.”
A 1-hour interactive pirate cruise in Fort Lauderdale with pirate lingo, water cannons, and take-home loot for kids on the Intracoastal.
“The experience is a cool thing for the kids BUT the third party(VIATOR) trying to make a buck selling the tickets provided me the wrong information and we were at the wrong location. Needs to be updated. Luckily a local approached me and knew we were waiting for the pirate boat and told me it didn’t leave there anymore. I was using ride sharing to get around with my family…not that great when in a rush. Luckily I don’t like being late so we were in the wrong place extremely early with time to make it right before the ship left.”

“It’s a great tour with nice tour guides and tons of interesting facts about the cemetery. Also quite easy to book.”

“Jay on the Everglades wind boat tour was exceptional from start to finish. Jay was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystem, but he explained everything in a way that was engaging, easy to understand, and genuinely fun. His passion for the Everglades really showed, and it made the entire trip feel special. He took the time to point out animals we would have missed on our own, shared fascinating facts about the history and environment, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the ride. The tour itself was smooth, exciting, and full of beautiful scenery—made even better by Jay’s professionalism and great sense of humor.”
