Worst Viator Tour I’ve been on…
isabel f,,Dec 22, 2025
- Review from Viator
1.00The worst tour I’ve been on. Of course, there were good moments, in particular the visit to Jose the music maestro and haggling in the market. But the guide, the operator and the locations let things down. Our guide, Fernando, acted like a teenage boy in a sulk; rude, arrogant and with serious bad vibes. Despite the company car door being broken, he never held it open for the 76-year-old woman in our party. He told us, with authority, that the blue-billed ducks at the lake were called Blue-billed Ducks (they are Ruddy Ducks). And he even managed to spoil the sacred waterfall with his monologue of pollution, human fouling and community conflict. The operator itself was seriously lacking compared to every other tour I’ve booked through Viator. They didn’t message in advance or respond to my messages about pick-up the day before. There wasn’t an out-of-office hours contact number and when they did eventually respond – after I had to contact Viator’s live chat to request it – they were dismissive and unhelpful. Most of the locations we went to were eerily quiet – no shops open, no tourists and no locals – which added to feelings of unsafety Fernando and the tour company perpetrated. Such a shame. Especially when Ecuador needs, and deserves, more tourists like us.
