This company is owned by TripAdvisor, so you will see them on the TripAdvisor site. I booked a skip the line' ticket for an attraction in Paris. Not only was my skip the line ticket totally ignored by the venue, I paid double the face value for a ticket that I could have had for a lot less and been in the venue faster. The tour company that Viator claimed managed this attraction ("My Genie in Paris") was a no show, didn't return calls, was impossible to reach. Viator is also impossible to reach, no phone number, no info. I had to contest the charge with my credit card company. Go to the reviews for this company on Yelp-- almost 100% negative experiences. Don't believe what you read on the TripAdvisor site about this company because it is owned by TripAdvisor.

We have used Viator to book tours in 8 cities from Anchorage to Paris. Best selection, highest rated tours and excellent customer service. Prices are fair, too. Can't go wrong with Viator

Usually good but...
November 9, 2018

VerUsually I check Viator for booking excursions as they have a good reputation.
Viator should revaluate Carmel Car & Limousine Service in Memphis, Tenn. As we were not happy with a VERY long wait for pick-up from that company because of their confusion and mix-up with their drivers. (We had verified the day before our trip,

Poor Service... Don't Use
September 22, 2018

I booked four services with Viator for my recent trip to Paris. First was car service to meet my wife and I at Orly airport. Our plane arrived 45 minutes early and I called them and was told that they could not get a car to pick us up early, which I understood, however, the car that eventually came was 30 minutes late.
Second service was skip the line tour of the Eiffel Tower. The day prior to the tour, I received an e-mail that they had stopped offering skip the line tours since July 1st and they waited until the 3rd week in August to notify me. I cancelled the tour and am still waiting for a credit 5 weeks later.
The third and fourth services were skip the line tickets for the Louvre and the D'orsay museums. It was unclear that we had to pick up these tickets personally and that our vouchers were not tickets and we had to go to the location twice because they would only give us tickets for that day and not a day ahead. I will never use them again.

What an uncaring site this is. Avoid at all costs
You cannot even get help or contact customer support.
A disgrace.

We booked a tour of the Tower of Pisa, we were charged £51 for a £30 tour and did not receive a guided tour. When looking to complain there is no contact details on the website. I hate booking this sort of thing for fear of being ripped off. I assumed it would be ok due to the Trip Advisor link. Sadly I was ripped off. Will never use this service again.

Love this site!
February 15, 2015

Love this site! I booked all of our sightseeing tours around London and England on this site after reading reviews. Printed off the tickets for the tours on line and we're set!
