“Experience was ruined by the driver who picked us up to take us to the dinner as provided by Viator. He drove extreme speeds, down one way streets the wrong way, argued with other drivers who got out of car to start a fight. He got lost and argued with lady on phone. We were late but thank god arrived alive. Viator needs to screen these drivers.”
