Bad Trip - I mistakenly clicked on today's date instead of the date I wanted. I called Viator immediately after I did that and tried to get the date changed to the one I want. All I got was an immediate response that nothing could be done. Terrible service!

Poor service on the day and after the non experience - We arrived 10 minutes before designated meeting time - there was no-one there and no signs to say they would be coming. we walked to the entrance of the building we were due to visit and there was no sign of the guide. We ended up taking a tour which was free at the venue. Viator refused to provide us with a refund
