    The vendor NEVER contacted me and provided the worst meeting point where my driver and everyone we asked had no idea where it was. We drove around for 50 mins and still couldn’t find the meeting point and missed my tour (if there really was one!). I called VIATOR customer service who were extremely not helpful and were very frustrating to talk to and would not refund me. HORRIBLE TOUR EXPERIENCE including Viator customer service!

    Went to the starting point, no tour operator. Really fed up because this tour was expensive and we really wanted to do it. Have applied for a refund but unsure as to whether this will happen. The advertising says that you can pay half the money before tours and the rest after but there was no opportunity for that either, the entire cost was taken immediately.

    What a horrible business. Confirmed the tour and didn’t bother to show up. Doesn’t Viator hold their partners to any standards? This is the second time this happened to me in just one week.
