WHAT TIME IS THE PICK UP?

After questioning the company for several days about the pick up time vs cruise start time, they finally replied after we left town and did not have email access internationally. No texts with the correct time, so we missed the van by one hour and 10 minutes. Very disappointed group and a total waste of $270. We are told that Viator does not refund event costs under any circumstances.

Pick thiss tour

Car was neat and clean and cool. Great to have a personalised small group tour. Our guide was friendly and knowledgable sharing lots of interesting information about the region and sites we visited. He was also happy to answer our many questions about Japan in general. The picnic lunch was delicious. The whole day ran smoothly and we really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended.

Super easy to find tours, would love comparing them too....

I think the only change I'd suggest is adding the ability to compare 2 or 3 similar tours. We'd booked experiences/tours in Rome but when one looks up "Vatican tour" for instance about 600 options populate the results. It would be great if we could click on 2 or 3 or 5 of them to do a side by side comparison. Areas to compare could be cost, length, brief descriptions, languages of guide, etc.

The description of the trip was vague

The description of the trip was vague. Also, you request that we choose a pick up location, but being unfamiliar with the city Lisbon), it is not possible for me to know what would be convenient and my hotel, though in the city, is "outside your pick-up area." It is not possible for me to choose a location. You do not enable us to know where the areas are in relation to where we will be.

I did not anticipate still waiting 40…

I did not anticipate still waiting 40 minutes in line for a “skip the line” ticket. I realize the museum was very crowded and people without a guide waited considerably longer but I did not factor that in my plans. Signage at the meeting place was very hard to find and was not displayed well. The tour guide was smart and informative but at times her English was hard to understand
