Interesting tour! We were lucky to be able to access the island and were impressived what was available to the people who were living on this small island at that time including schools, gym and pool! Unfortunately, we only had a guidebook no real guide but well prepared including pictures.
Response from Host , Apr 2021
Nikola san, Thank you for your review, and sorry that you did not have a live guide on the ship. Due to the Covid19, and much fewer foreign visitors, they currently are not having a live guide on the ship we assume... we contact the operator and will make changes to the program. Thank you again for your information!! Have a wonderful day!
Very interesting 3 hours

We’re made aware that we were unable to land on the island. No English translator but we given and English information leaflets. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and courteous. As no island landing we were allowed to visit to museum close to the landing jetty. Very interesting including virtual reality tours of the island. Fantastic afternoon
This company ensured we were well...

This company ensured we were well looked after. We were the only English speaking tourists on this trip and we did not miss out.
From the time we boarded with our radio guide the staff ensured we were in an area to be able to recieve the signal.This was great as a. wet windy day. We were escorted to a great seat. As we approached the island we were again taken to the back deck to get a better view.
Our boat was well equipped, comfortable and modern. Well worth doing
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
