“I had a good tour with our knowledgeable driver. We had a problem with the pickup point. Viator clearly stated it would be at a particular street, but she was waiting for us on an adjacent street. I messaged her thru the app but the reply was via email, not the app as expected. It took some time before I looked at my email and saw the message clarifying the pickup point. Viator should make sure they put in the correct pickup point.”
