Ich habe über Viator ein Ticket für das Paris Museum gebucht, mit einer geplanten Eintrittszeit um 11:00 Uhr. Leider habe ich das Ticket erst um 14:30 Uhr erhalten, was den geplanten Besuch unmöglich machte. Trotz meiner Beschwerde wurde behauptet, dass das Ticket rechtzeitig zugestellt wurde – was definitiv nicht der Fall war. Am Ende blieb ich auf den Kosten sitzen und habe keinerlei Unterstützung erhalten. Ich bin extrem enttäuscht von diesem Service und werde Viator nicht weiterempfehlen. Wer Kopfschmerzen vermeiden will, sollte sich lieber für eine andere Plattform entscheiden. Für mich war es das erste und letzte Mal.

We booked two tours in Rome with Viator they moved the time of both of them with less than 24 hours notice. Which cut back the time at each tour significantly. One tour we couldn’t even find the guide. They don’t communicate back with you at all! Highly highly don’t recommend!

Booked a tour in Turkey 4 weeks before I travelled. I messaged the night before to check pick up time to be told no tour as not enough people from the area I'm staying in. No refund given despite several messages and phone calls to Viator. They have had my money now for 9 weeks. I'm now trying to claim back through the bank. Tours look good value but many are not going ahead and customer service is non existent.

In August we booked 3 tours. The one tour where we took the train up the Alps from St Moritz started out great. However our final stop on the train we had to walk over a mile to the bus where it was just parked. It could have picked up up. NEVER AGAIN BOOKING WITH YHIS COMPANY. Over the years we have used them many times. Never again

Very bad experience with viator, had booked a tour from Brussels to Ghent, the driver and the guide whose name was Niko were very rude and misbehaved with us. Passed very racist remarks to us. Didn’t guide us properly and misbehaved with us.Worst experience ever. We Indians give so much business to them and this is how they treat us.

We arranged for a pickup from our hotel to airport via email with all details and received daily confirmations. The morning of the pickup at 6:45 am they did not show up. When I called their number I was told they went to another hotel and it would take them 35 minutes to get to ours therefore not being able to check our luggage. When I called back the local company they stopped answering their phone completely (must have had caller ID) leaving us totally stranded. Luckily our hotel was able to arrange transportation at a cost of almost 3 times the price Viator charged due to short notice.

Disappointing Service. I should have read the many unfavourable reviews on Viator , to avoid a disappointing and an unpleasant experience. I will not be using Viator again. I had signed up a tour package for two with Viator’s local operator, MTM Tourism Greece OE (MTM), for a trip, paying a premium, to be picked up at my hotel. Viator had confirmed pickup at the hotel. I waited at the hotel but to no avail. The receptionist at the hotel helped me to call MTM. MTM just told us that we were considered as ‘No Show’. I wrote to Viator, with ticket confirming the pick up at our hotel, and they refused to refund us. I have been travelling frequently and have not encountered such an unpleasant experience before.

Used Viator for many trips in January. I booked a swim with the dolphins did not see one dolphin let alone swim with them. They did not refund nor would they rebook. They kept saying they were booked on the next tour so I never got to see the dolphins or get my money back $500 wasted.

Disappointing Service and Unethical Practices I had a truly terrible experience with Viator. The company not only failed to deliver on the promises made but also seemed willing to work with operators who engage in misleading and unethical practices. First, the tour I booked was misrepresented— the actual duration was far shorter than advertised, which was a clear violation of the agreement. To make matters worse, the pickup location was changed without any prior notice or approval, causing unnecessary stress and inconvenience. Despite these serious issues, Viator refused to issue a refund, which is unacceptable. It's clear they don't prioritise customer satisfaction or hold their partners to ethical standards. I strongly advise anyone considering using this service to look elsewhere. If you want a reliable, customer-first experience, Viator is not the company for you.

Viator cancelled my tickets to the Frida Khalo museum in Mexico City two days before our visit. I spoke to an employee named Diego who was rude and didn’t care whether we were left out or not. It ruined our day. This was one of the main reasons for our trip to Mexico City. If TripAdvisor has bought Viator, I advise them to watch their new acquisition because it is worthless and it’s giving them a bad rap.

Despite booking a Tikal tour through Viator 5 months in advance and selecting from their provided pickup location menu, I was unexpectedly charged a 30% surcharge for pickup on the day of the tour. When I contacted Viator's customer support for a refund, they claimed my pickup location wasn't on their approved list. While this is true now, the location was definitely available in their dropdown menu when I made the booking. Unfortunately, Viator's support team seemed dismissive of my evidence and responded with generic denials rather than investigating the situation. This inconsistency between booking options and actual service, combined with poor customer support, was disappointing.

Warning - Do not book through Viator. We had booked a 6am balloon flight and were making our own way there with an Uber. We had left the hotel at 4:30am to enjoy a sunrise experience. When we arrived at the meeting point we were told no flight had been booked in our name. We were a group of seven, travelling with children. This was our last day in Mexico City. Imagine the distress, disappointment and upset. A rep from another company was called who then phoned around trying to get us on a balloon flight. We were offered a flight at 8am with another balloon provider. However, that would not have got us back in time to Mexico City. A a flight was eventually found at 6:45am and we were rushed over to a different provider and put straight into a balloon. We missed all the photo opportunities that the other families got for the hour before and and also missed breakfast as we had to rush back. Viator have refused any liability for the stress and missed breakfast. This is the second time I have booked through Viator and the second time my booking has not been acknowledged. Previously in February 2019 I booked a city tour of LA with my children. We waited over an hour in the hotel reception, phoned numerous times to be told that despite booking to be picked up from our hotel, they did not actually offer that service. I did not receive any refund then either. Please do not waste your precious time and money with this company. The balloon flight itself is magical and I highly recommend. I have taken balloon flights in Europe and this far excelled any of them. Just remember to book direct with the companies themselves.

Stay away from this company and do not use them. Their booking system is a disgrace. I booked tickets for vatican and sistine chapel and their system booked me in for a date I did not choose and a week before my arrival in Rome. No refund and no assistance whatsoever. Took my money and could not care less about their customers. The worst compnay I have ever dealt with. AVOID.
