The driver (Vitor) was rude and condiscending when we arrived with our e-tickets (lack of English). The recording was not matching the buildings, the driver was on the phone, on speaker phone so it was hard to hear anything. The ride was a waste of time and money.”

I used the Viator app to walk to what I thought was the pickup location, but it was actually the end location, which was about a 15 minute walk away. It was quite a large group and our guide didn't speak very loudly. There were no audio devices provided. In my opinion our guide was more interactive with the French speaking tourists. For example: Generally or he would speak in English first, then French. We were in the train station looking at the tiles. He finished talking in English…”
