VIATOR fees are excessive and un-necessary - When I checked in for my tour, I was surprised to find out that there were $80 additional in VIATOR fees that otherwise would not have been charged if I booked directly with the Company. Also, I do not believe VIATOR made these charges evident when booking. Time and Time again, around the world, I keep giving VIATOR a chance and every time I get disappointed. Will I ever learn?
