    Le manque de communication. Ce fut une expérience horrible. J’ai réservé ce tour quelques mois à l’avance pour le 7 mai. Résultat: le site était fermé. Personne ne m’a avisé et on encaissé la somme totale à l’avance. J’ai demandé un remboursement, que je n’ai toujours pas reçu. La communication avec ce site est désastreuse.

    My audio stopped working after a few minutes. I contacted the company to get a refund and they said they would refund to the card that I used to purchase the tour. I sent back an email right away to say that I have a new credit card number, but I have heard nothing back. I tried to add my new card number on my Viator profile, but that page says " not available ".

    Site op zich was leuk. Echter eens binnen is het nogal chaos en is de audiotour niet echt handig. Ook stopte de audiotour er half weg mee. Hebben dan maar aangesloten bij een groep die een gids had.
