We took the hop-on hop off tour in Boston. Our tour guide was Crafty. He is AWESOME! He greeted every guest that got on the trolley and asked where they were from. Somehow he actually remembered all of this when they got off. He was very knowledgeable about Boston and one of his ancestors helped found the city! Three was never a quiet moment between telling us the history, giving trivia questions about the area we were in or telling a joke. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

They took us to the wrong city and we did not receive any of the components of the booked trip. They would not provide a refund. A bunch of crooks. Do not use Viator.

I advise any prospective future travellers to avoid Viator like the plague I forgot to read all these negative reviews before I booked a shuttle bus to pick us up from the airport in Hawaii to our hotel. We were out waiting in time for the pickup but no one was there for us > We walked up and down all the shuttle buses asking over and again as to whether anyone knew who was supposed to be there,as on the confirmation they sent us they did not name the company that should have been there. After 2and and half hours we finally gave up and paid another shuttle $55 American on top of the $55 we paid to Viator. I have been trying now for over 4 weeks to have this resolved, to no satisfaction , then today I finally get a message saying they were not going to refund the money. Not even an explanation or excuse as to why we did not get the service. They also had the cheek to say "we hope you use our company in the future" Fat chance of that happening

Awful company and service, proceed at your peril! The Viator system let us book a tour to the Sistine on a closed day. Those tickets cost over £200. We were only in Rome for 2 days, 1 night, and the Sistine was a priority for my husband on his 50th birthday. When the Sistine chapel tour operator called to tell us, the only other time they had was at the same time as the Colloseum booking time. I tried to contact customer service and the tour operator who both refused to accommodate us and firmly stuck to cancellation policies. This was no fault of our own and entirely due to the Viator system allowing us to book another expensive tour for the Sistine on a day that was closed. For this reason I would never recommend Viator. They claimed they wouldn’t know if it was a closure day, which is awful for a booking system and ruined our organised trip and tour of the Colosseum and our planning for the time we had in Rome. Their customer service is awful and so unhelpful. We lost our money and the opportunity to see the Colosseum. Never use this company.

We had booked a cooking class in Lucca Italy for Oct 18th at 5pm. On the ticket it listed a remote location to be picked up due to the fact the class was at a private home. We arrived at the assign location at 4:45 and waited until 5:30. I tried to contact Viator because there was no phone number for the class operator. The Viator agent told me I had the wrong day! I explained the i was looking at my ticket and it was booked for today. The agent was very rude and had no solutions. We had paid in advance $645US. After several conversations with Viator they are unwilling to refund any of our money!! This is completely unacceptable! Our ticket showed a location to meet at and we were there. There was no contact information about the cooking class operator to call for help and the Viator agent was rude with no help. This was an expensive class and I don't feel we did anything wrong. To not be refunded is just wrong!! I will never use Viator again!!

This is a complete scam. I booked a self-guided tour of the Alhambra, received two confirmations that my tickets were on their way, only to be told the afternoon before that they didn't have the ticket. Surely they can't advertise tickets they don't have, so this is fraudulent.

Booked a Madeira 'East trip' with Viator for a trip of 5 adults ages between 51 and 80. The 'mini-van' was scheduled for 08:50 pickup and it was on time. There were already about 7 or 8 people on board and the best seats were taken. This meant those of us in our group, two being over 6ft tall struggled to get comfy due to very very poor leg room in the Mercedes Sprinter (18 seater) mini-bus The driver proceeded to spend the next HOUR driving around Funchal, collecting other passngers including two stops at the bus station!!! The 2nd was to collect two more adults and thus completely filling the vehicle. At this point the lack of legroom at the back became unbearable which was pointed out to the driver in no uncertain terms. His response? He couldn't care less!! The small seating and overcrowding also meant that wearing seatbelts - which is a legal requirement in Madeira was impossible, something very dangerous on hilly Madeiran roads and accident plagued motorways. Voices were raised when the driver appeared to be completely apathetic about the situation or the fact laws would be broken and his paying elderly passengers ENDANGERED. The driver said he would arrange for another Virator van to collect us and to take us on the tour so the five of us consisting of 50, 53 and 80yr old males along with 70 and 74 yr old females got off the 'mini-bus' After waiting 25 minutes we called Virator and spoke to someone called Lenny? Who basically couldn't care less that we had been dumped, had no instructions or intentions of sending a replacement vehicle (a blatant lie from the driver) and of course meaning we were robbed of the tour fee which we will have to claim back from our bank. Reviews exist to give other customers the chance to make informed choicesabout who they use, please read this and think very VERY carefully about using this company as next time it could be you!!!!

The worst experience ever . we plan few days to visit Granada in Spain. We got a reservation for the Alhambra in Granada and guess what they send me a message the day before our visit that the tickets weren’t available because of overbooking. We spent a lot of money in hotels for absolutely nothing but Viator doesn’t care a bit . Do not use Viator ever they are no good .

Booked Viator tours in Barcelona and Rome . All worked well and received a refund for part of tour that was cancelled due to weather. And for an incorrect booking. I would recommend Viator

All this company cares about is collecting your MONEY! Our entire family came down with Covid day before tour. Trip to Tn ended and all had to drive back home to Pa. Was truly looking forward to the tour planned and our vacation. Explained situation, result, we are keeping your $690. Thanks Viator! Never again!!!

We booked 3 tickets for Madrid Castle but could not find the tourer at the address indicated. We walked all around for 1 hr and no tourer. We could do the tour cause the barcode didn’t work either. When asked for a refund they refused to return our money. Will never use this company again!
