1.0We found not locate thr tour operator for one hour. The contact phone number did not work. We contacted Viator and they could not contact them as well We received no tour and no refund. After 7 years of using viator this is the first time a tour operator was unreachable, gave us no info on who our guide was to be and a vague meeting place. Evidently viator paid the operator without them providing the service.
