Scammed - Do Not Book!

1.00Please do not book this tour!! The company never reached out and completely ghosted us about this tour. Luckily we recognized some warning signs prior to the tour start date, so we were able to work around this, but this company is absolutely a scam. Had we not had our wits about us, we could have completely missed Machu Picchu. This company does not have a What’s App #, the one provided does not go to them. No one will answer you. Viatour helped us get a refund since we recognized it, but PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR.
AVOID at all costs, don’t waste your $$$

1.00I was at meeting spot 10 minutes early, waited 20 minutes in 42 degree temp, called your operator numerous times, no answer. Texted Viator help line, no answer. Waited another 30 minutes, no show on the operator. I wasted thousands of dollars flying to Lima, another flight to Cusco, hotel for 3 days in Cusco, only to miss Machu Picchu. DO NOT Schedule this tour with this company. Get Your Guide is best online tour company!

1.00We are extremely upset and angry with this booking. We booked about a month ago and even confirmed as of the day before. We were scheduled for a pick up at 4 AM. At 4:20 we reached out because the driver had not yet arrived and were informed that the tour was canceled. We planned our whole week around that day and it was extremely unprofessional for them to cancel that morning, especially after having us wake up early and wait for almost an hour before we received the news of the cancellation. We will not be booking through Viator again.
