Viator moved quickly to refund the amount we paid so that was a good thing.”

His English was excellent. About an hour ride took us to silk Island where we had a tour of the island, learned all about silk, and had the opportunity to buy some local samples. I bought some fabric out of which I will have a shirt made. Plenty to drink with fruits on board. We bought some food on the island and ate it on the way back. Overall, just a great experience and a good value.”
