My partner and I had the most amazing experience! Our tour guide was Michael and he was absolutely brilliant, he took us where we needed to go and told us so many information about France's, its history and the different places to go and visit. We really enjoyed his company and had the most amazing time with him and the family that was with us! We will be 1000% coming back and definitely recommend! Thank you Michael for the best experience. 🤍🫶🏻

VIATOR RUINED MY VACATION WITH LACK OF SUPPORT FOR CANCELLED TOUR!!!!

Deborah_P, Dec 2024

Viator and the operator LivenUp ruined my vacation!!! Our ship could not port/tender because of rough seas/strong winds. At 6am when the announcement was made, I notified the tour operator and Viator. Operator only refunded half of my prepaid funds. Viator refused to help me and referred me back to operator. They refused to refund any more and bounced me back to Viator. I know of another passenger Pat Mitchell and her daughter, Krissy Mitchell who booked thru Viator and received a full refund for the same day cancellation. I still expect that Viator should refund the balance owing of $462USD. I had booked several tours through Viator with confidence. This lack of support for me, the customer, is truly disappointing and sad. I WILL NEVER BOOK WITH VIATOR AGAIN. Neither will any of our party of 8. AND I WILL BE SURE TO CONTINUE TO WARN OTHERS NOT TO EITHER. Our Facebook page of over 300 people for the cruise have also been made aware of this situation. PLEASE ESCALATE THIS ISSUE TO YOUR CUSTOMER RETENTION DEPT. I WANT IT RESOLVED!!!

Hello,

According to our cancellation policy, for a full refund, you have to cancel your booking 24h in advance.

In your case the cancellation was made less than 24h, however we granted an exceptional refund of 50%.

We wish you all the best!
