Irresponsible and negligent tour guide.

2.00Our tour guide got us trouble by not explaining how to pay for public transportation he took us on and we were fined a good sum of money. He took no responsibility and stood there with his hands in his pockets while we berated in a language we did not understand. Then to add insult to injury, Viator also took no responsibility when we reported it to them. We did not ask for a tour refund (which we should have done), we simply asked to be reimbursed the fine. We were denied. The incident was not our fault, the tour guide was negligent, and Viator has now lost our business.
Highly recommend! Huge Viator fan!!!
