Viator was absolutely horrible. The tour that was advertised AND the customer service. Particularly, the customer service was incredibly underwhelming. Having a bad experience with a mis-advertised tour is one thing, but then explaining your entire experience to several customer service reps and them telling you that your case is sufficient for a refund, but that the refund team will not hear any of your experience...is incredibly frustrating. I poured my heart out to the customer service rep that I was WhatsApp texting as the issues were occurring with the tour company in real time and they said that they wouldn't share any of the horrible details with the refund team because they would independently conduct an investigation and come to a "resolution" on their own. How can a reputable company's customer service team not relay crucial information about a customer's horrible experience to the refund team? This company has no intention of refunding their customers, no matter what happens. They did not take my experience into account at all. I paid the money in full, even though the tour was mis-advertised on Viator's website, my family was treated poorly, we were charged extra upon arrival to the tour, half of my family was not even allowed on the tour, and the tour company would not refund us. This whole thing has turned me off from ever using Viator for anything ever again. The customer service SUCKS. I even followed up separately on WhatsApp with a new customer service rep and explained my situation AND emailed the refund team that reached out to me to DECLINE my request for a refund (even a partial refund for the members of my family that were just unable to experience anything of the $800 I paid for this experience). Both reps told me that the refund team had conducted its own investigation and decided WITHOUT MY INPUT OF EXPERIENCE that I would not get a refund. When I asked what the criteria of the investigation was, they stopped responding to my email chain. They could not tell me why they could not offer me a refund. This was a total scam.

Stated 'Small group, average of 16 maximum 20' - there was 30 in our group and it was almost impossible to take in and see what the guide was telling us. Stated 'skip the lines' - we had to queue 3 times, no saving time here! Stated 'venture in through the gladiators gate' - we weren't even shown the gladiators gate, let alone venture through it. Although expensive, happy to pay for such a unique experience, so when it didn't happen, you can imagine the disappointment. Stated 'Learn more about Rome's ancient past at the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum' - we were rushed through the Roman Forum as the guide was 'running late' and had 'forgotten his phone' so only saw half of it and did not get shown Palatine Hill at all. 5 to 6 hours (inc travel), much of which wasted in queues or trying to battle to see what the guide was attempting to explain. Huge let down and disappointment - Viator not interested when I made contact to raise my concerns.
