Poor Business transaction on Viator’s Part

2.00We met up with the very kind tour guide who informed us that there was a glitch in the system and we paid for a tour of the cruise boat AND Behind the Falls. We were supposed to just do the boat. We had already done Behind the Falls with a separate ticket. She said we could do both again, but she showed us where to go for the boat. I contacted Viator about a partial refund and they denied us. I will not be using them again for any other reservations. The only reason that I gave higher than a 1 was because the guide was kind and informed us of the glitch in the system.

4.00Rozina was very polite and pleasant throughout the tour. However, in some situations, having a bit more detailed knowledge or information would have made the experience even better.
Group size too large

3.00I could tell our guide Emery was trying his best but the group size and structure of the tour was not the best. A small group started with the Skylon Tower (that others opted out of) and because they ran behind, the remaining 10 people in the group stood around waiting for over 30 minutes after the scheduled start time. Due to this, the rest of the tour felt rushed and I couldn't help feeling like I didn't get the full experience. Emery was nice and tried to keep us engaged with stories but the large group size was overwhelming so it was impossible for everyone other than the first few people to hear. I think the tour would greatly benefit from reducing the group size to enhance the experience and not combining multiple package options to prevent the scheduling issue. I did appreciate being able to get in the front of some of the lines but I don't think it is as necessary during shoulder season. Lastly, I think it's weird that they do not send the guide on the experience (Journey Behind the Falls & cruise) and just pass out entry tickets to each guest.
Julian was a great tour...

5.00Julian was a great tour guide. Lots of walking but worth it! Wish they would have limited the number of people allowed at a time behind the falls.

5.00Lovely experience with a friendly guide Got to meet fellow travelers Really enjoyed the parts of the tour and not having to purchase tickets for each thrill!
Be careful booking with Viator.

1.00We were quite disappointed in the entire tour. It felt like a lot of walking that was filler and not a lot of value and then there was a confusion about what was included in our particular package. The website is particularly confusing, and we were very disappointed with the outcome after having spoken to both our guide who was wonderful, but it only got worse after that when we got connected with a call center. I would strongly suggest you look carefully at these agencies and consider just going straight to the ticket office to buy, whatever adventure you want to explore.
The text after...

4.00The text after confirmation, did not load to tell me where to meet the tour guide, or a location. It said the page was not available. We did a lot of walking and asking to find the tour. Otherwise it was a fun experience. The tour leader was great.
