Change of plans tour success - Mauricio our wonderful and extremely knowledgeable tour guide looked at us and knew we weren’t prepared for the tour we signed up for and kindly offered us a private city tour which was outstanding. His knowledge of São Paulo and insight saved the entire trip for us. Best tour guide ever!

The company can’t be trusted and cancelled our reservation 1AM the morning of our tour - Liars - Booked 48 hours out & had confirmation and booking numbers. We called and left messages to this company via WhatsApp and through Viators chat system. They wouldn’t return messages or calls. We just wanted to know who was picking us up since it was our 1st time in Brazil. At 1:AM the morning of the trip, this company sends a cancellation and said it was Viators fault cause Viator didn’t send them the confirmation number. But we supplied them all of the info via chat and WhatsApp days before the trip. Anyway, they blamed viator but didn’t know that I had a viator rep also try to call them and they never responded. I’m sorry but any company that won’t return messages after a customer purchasing their tour, shouldn’t be trusted. I don’t know if the company is lying or viator but I do know that I have the company the confirmation and booking number and when they received that info, if thwy did t know that I bought it , should’ve just asked questions from all of the calls and WhatsApp messages and text I had sent them a few days before the trip. Let’s be real, who doesn’t respond to their customers for over 2 days? Now we can’t book anything because the company decided to cancel at 1am the morning of the trip. That’s not reliable or trusting. After all this mess, I wouldn’t even feel comfortable going with them on a trip because someone is lying about what happened and I feel they just didn’t care about responding about our reservation. DONT TAKE YOUR FAMILY ON A TOUR WITH A COMPANY THAT CANT BE TRUSTED! In a way I’m glad I found out the way that I did. Book some Other tour with a different company other than VIATOR or Vida e Energia Viagens e Turismo! Just don’t bother. March 3, 2024
