Unorganized Tour Operator and Viator Failure to Correct

1.00This trip provider is incompetent with logistics. They provided a pick time from the hotel via email confirmation, the pickup was on my ticket, and I called Viator to confirm the time. The night prior to pickup they sent an email that the pickup time was moved forward by an hour and 25 minutes. No call no text and I’m not in the business of checking emails on vacation after confirming the pickup time three different ways. Needless to say I did not receive the email before the pickup the following morning. Waited outside my hotel for 20 minutes before calling to see where the shuttle was only to be told I’m out of luck. No reschedule from Viator or the tour operator and they’ve refused to refund despite two attempts. Pass on these people. There are too many other options for similar trips to waste your time with this one.

4.00Only worth it if you take in the view of the park, staying in Sarande on the beach is not worth it. The beach del.pueblo is pretty bad and dirty
