Nice trip!

I enjoyed seeing the insides of the caves, something you couldn’t see from above on the cliffs or the beaches. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and answered all questions. Nice trip!

The trip to view the grottos was a great way to see this natural wonder from the sea. The guides were great. The boat is small, so they can get in and out of tight spots in the grottos giving you some fabulous views and picture angles. We did an early morning visit. This worked out great as it was not as busy and the sea was calmer, with winds picking up most afternoons.

Great guides made the tour informative and fun! A definite “must do” in Lagos. Price was competitive, if not lower than other tur companies and the owners are very friendly.
Fun and beautiful trip

Great trip with an engaging, entertaining and informative guide, Angelo, even if he didn't always get it right (very few people in the 16thC thought the world was flat! That wasn't why the church persecuted Galileo Galilei). Angelo might want to dial back a bit on the sexist 'jokes' though; they did grate.
Muy muy recomendable

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.
