As a business owner, I do not recommend Viator. They steal our Trip Advisor Reviews and attach them to their products rather than posting to our Trip Advisor Business page. Full disclosure: Trip Advisor and Viator is the same company!

I booked a 1:30pm cruise and when my confirmation email came it said 9:30am. I called the company to rectify and they said there was nothing they could do. I wasn't even looking for a refund. I just wanted them to cancel and rebook for the correct time. Terrible customer service. Do not trust them.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. We have booked through here before and not had issues but this last booking and customer service experience has been awful. We were considering booking some tickets but my husband and I were discussing it. My husband handed our under age son his phone do did our passports out of our bag while we were walking by the Vatican and our son confirmed the trip. We canceled immediately but they do not want to refund us over 500 dollars. Very disappointing and unprofessional. We will discuss with our bank once we get home. We will not book with them EVER again and will make sure all of our traveling friends don’t use them either.

This company is completely corrupt. We have had countless issues over the years & have had to fight every time for a a full or partial refund for Tour Guide Shows, Bait & Switch tactics, etc. Our latest issue- we booked a Full Day TOUR with our friends in Italy. When the driver arrived she immediately told us “Sorry we didn’t have a Tour Guide available today, I can drive you but you’ll be on your own.” It was too late to make a new reservation so we accepted. She told us to request a partial refund from whoever we booked the tour. We were given no maps, no guidance, nothing. Every tower & museum in the Tour Description required pre-purchased or skip the line tickets so we weren’t able to do or see any of the Highlights listed in the tour description. I requested a 50% refund upon our arrival home. They denied it. I filed a chargeback case with our credit card and received this THREATENING email with the wrong facts from them (photo below). We will be fighting this & reporting Viator to our State Attorney General as we believe threats such as this based on incorrect facts are illegal.

So I booked an excursion for 19/6/24 so many confusing advise before the trip. These are my issues Once booked you get a confirmation It is very confusing ‘Before you go’ Viator says confirm pick up by email or phone, then told no need to do that, then Viator says phone send a message to SUPERPHONE, (?) then Viator said send an email, then in two messages DO NOTHING unless cancelling So many emails I hope Viator read, ensure EVERYONE sings from the same hymn sheet

Full description is misleading make sure to look at all pictures cause the last picture will have more details that you need. Scammers.

Viator is awful! Do not use them! We were 9 min to your trip and they cancelled our tour then offered the next day and cancelled on us and no refund! Do not trust them!

Refunded an experience without asking me where I wanted the money sent to, just went back to the original payment method, which was a gift card thrown out a year ago. Would have been happy with a credit, but no chance was given to communicate this, they didn't even send a confirmation email, so I couldn't quickly let them know before it cleared. Unprofessional. And will quote TOS instead of common sense and try to work with you. Do not use a card you may not have in a month/years time, they will not send to another card. Your money is lost.

Sh*t company, sh*t service - I stupidly booked the wrong date and there was less than zero interest in helping me resolve.

Bombarded with emails, inaccurate information, poor description of tours. Supposed to send a link for tour waiver. Never got it from viator, had to o directly to actual tour company.

I would put minus but no facility to do so . I booked a tour through Viator . Unfortunately our transport was delayed . I contacted the tour company from 6 am and other times during that day via Viator and WhatsApp to just reschedule . I had NO response from tour operator at all . When I contacted Viator to complain I eventually received a message 2 days later only because Viator contacted them . Surprise surprise the tour company is now stating too late to reschedule/ refund . But why didn’t they contact me on the day ??? I will pursue thus as it’s blatantly wrong for these people to be able to get away with this and get supported doing so .

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! The boat and tour we scheduled never showed up. Then we rebooked it for another day and it didn’t show up again. It completely ruined our 3 day trip to Bimini, for our anniversary trip. A complete fraud. RUN FROM THIS COMPANY! They refused to give a refund! It was all a horrible experience!

Bought a ‘voucher’ not even a ticket to upper antelope canyon. Fortunately the voucher worked. However, I learned it was double almost triple the price everyone else paid for their tickets who bought directly from the touring companies. I feel cheated and duped.

We had booked a day trip to great ocean today!! They were suppose to pick us up at 7 am from our pick up point. Nobody turned till 8am. There was no way we could communicate to them. Being a weekend the customer service also were not responding. Very bad experience !! Horrible!!

Absolutely disgusting service - overcharged me $340 and refund hasn’t been received after timeframe provided. Messaged numerous times on WhatsApp and the agent leaves the chat mid-conversation and have terrible attitudes with no willingness to help. No one can answer my questions or resolve my enquiry, I’ve been going round in circles for 11 days now - never booking with Viator again. So beyond frustrated.

Went on a walking tour of Venice today with our guide, Valentina. Enjoyed the tour immensely and that is due in large part, to Valentina. She was lovely.

This site is A SCAM, they sell fantom Tour Operators with no working numbers. When you call Aviator to get assistance, Aviator’s, representatives not even have how to contact these companies, thus, the solution is hanging off the phone to you The license to sell tour packages should be suspended

Two of my friends and I went on a Viator Tour of London on April 26, 2024. We were promised we would see the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace and High Tea at Harrods. We did not get to see the Changing of the Guards. We saw the Guards line up outside of their barracks and get ready to do the actual ceremony. We were not even that close to Buckingham Palace. Our High Tea at Harrods consisted of 2 scones and a small pot of tea. Everything I've read about High Tea is that consists of small sandwiches, scones and petit fores. The Viator guide told those of us going to High Tea at Harrods not to eat too large a lunch because we would be getting so much food at Harrod's High Tea. Maybe Viator don't know what Harrolds is providing since the guide left us for the day at Harrods and did not stay to see what was provided. All in all, the two most important part of the Tour of London were great disappointments.

Be aware never use Via tour. I had so many problems I called customer service. They are in Philippines. They don’t know the system. I waited for hour and a half to just cancel the bookings and he couldn’t help me in hour and a half. I asked for a supervisor, and I was never transferred to a supervisor. This is the worst company for tours.
