“I booked a one day tour from NYC to Niagara Falls for me and my sister. Total cost was $1098.00. We had a family emergency son was diagnosed with cancer while deployed in the Air Force and had to have emergency surgery at Walter Reed Hospital. So I had to cancel about 12 days before our date. They said it must be 30 days before and they will not let me reschedule and kept all the money. Never Again will I use Viator. Thanks for your no compassion you crooks. Customer Service are no help at all. Beware!!”

“We booked a day tour to see Chichen Itza with a provider called 'Cancun Vacation Experts' and paid through the website viator.com. On the day prior to the tour, we attempted to telephone Cancun Vacation Experts on the numbers provided on their voucher to confirm pick up. We also tried all of the telephone numbers on their website - and ALL WERE UNAVAILABLE. We also emailed the day prior through viator.com and did not receive a response. On the morning of our tour, we waited at our hotel reception from 7am to 10am and no tour shuttle arrived to collect us. We only had one day during this holiday to see Chichen Itza (a 7th wonder of the world) and missed the opportunity due to this company's extreme disorganisation and lack of professionalism. Despite having finally received an apology via Facebook from Cancun Vacation Experts, we have still not received confirmation that we will receive a refund. We were extremely disappointed.”

“Book two tours from Viator.com, on a Bucharest Romania based tour called "Private Tour of the Black Sea Coast: A journey from Romania to Bulgaria". I booked twice on this multi-day tour only to have each booking canceled, the first canceled with little time, and the second one canceled very last minute, less than a day or so from planned start. Both tours were canceled, even though they showed availability on the site and the site took the bookings and credit card payments for each reservation. Because the cancellations were so last minute, made it very challenging to change to an available alternative tour as others were already booked. If you are going on a distance journey to get to the starting location, only to have planned tours canceled, really ruins a vacation. Don't count on Viator tour bookings. A third tour also shown on site showed times a castle was opened that was incorrect.”

“Absolutely AWFUL company. Truly, everyone you ever come into contact with at this company is simply worthless, useless, and have no redeeming values. From anyone on the phone--who are all absolutely clueless, to every single administrative professional in every department. Have contacted this company several dozen times through various channels and all across the board it is a horribly mismanaged company. How the hell TripAdvisor ever thought they were worth buying is beyond logic. Perhaps several years ago they were better, but for sure they have completely flushed themselves down the toilet with each year getting far worse than the past.”

“I'm currently in Amsterdam, a week ago I purchased a skip the line Van Gogh museum with a Hop On Hop Off canal boat tour. I went to exchange my voucher for a ticket and was informed that there were no more time slots for the day of purchase, looking through my voucher it was NOT noted anywhere that I needed a specific time for entry. Apparently that is standard around Amsterdam. When I informed Viator I was met with sorry you were a no show you are unable to get a refund. I explained I was not a no show that they sold me a voucher that I could not use and was told I should have bought the insurance with still no refund. Worst customer service I've ever experienced and suggest looking at other sights so you don't get sucked into a trap as I did.”

“I really hate what they have done to TripAdvisor. It used to be you went there and the companies with the best reviews were at the top. Now they have redesigned the site to show the tours booked on Viator first. Some of those tours are terribly rated. This is a slap in the face to all the people who worked so hard writing reviews and all the companies that have top ratings but do not sell through Viator. This monitization is on the backs of all the hard working people and has made TripAdvisor kind of a big lie. Beware the big yellow "Book Now" buttons you see on trip advisor, you are likely going to get a much worse tour than if you dig down and read the real reviews for the real top rated companies. Book through the companies themselves, don't let Viator ruin a great review site.”

“False advertising with no refunds. Bought an airport transfer through Viator which stated it could support 3 passengers, 2 checked bags and 2 carry-on bags. I received an email asking how big were our bags, we described them (just normal sized suitcases) and they told us that they won't fit and that we should book the MPV and cancel the Tesla. So I booked the MPV then when I went to cancel the Tesla they said sorry no refunds! So they falsely advertise what their cars can carry, they obviously know this as I was proactively contacted about this yet they refused to refund it! I will have to do a chargeback now, big waste of time.”

“Booked tour through viator. After booking, read reviews of tours and some were not rated or rated poorly. Tried to book another tour and they said sorry non refundable. Stay away!”
