### 2/5 — Not easy to use when traveling

*2026-08-13, version 15.20.0*

Love the actual bookings, but when I need to login to actually get my tickets or information needed about my booking, it’s a wild maze to get into the app. I have lost a travel guide because the information was not provided via email…and being in a remote location trying to log in to contact the tour operator (because the information was not provided in the actual emailed information) meant I had to find a completely different mode of transport for a party of 14.
Please find a better way to login or gather information to account for times when travelers WiFi and connectivity isn’t great.

### 2/5 — Why have an app??

*2026-08-09, version 15.19.0*

Booked a tour 3 months ago for a birthday gift for my husband. It’s now time to go on the tour, and every time I tried to view my reservation or pay for tickets on the app, I got an “Oops! Something went wrong” message. Finally figured out I could only access it from my Mac. Had to delete the app from my iPhone before using the link in the email from Viator to pay for and get my tickets.

### 3/5 — Not enough info

### 5/5 — Fantastic Service

*2026-08-03, version 15.19.0*

Viator reps have been able to assist in planning all of our Hawaii vacation excursions. They are professional & friendly.   Thank you!!

### 2/5 — Got scammed

*2026-08-03, version 15.18.0*

We bought Colosseum tickets months prior to our trip. They send a message to go to a meeting point. We go to the meeting point and it’s a locked garage door. We tried to contact the guide, no answer. We call customer support and they can’t reach the guide either. Thankfully, customer support said they will refund it, but it’s still disappointing.

We have used Viator many times and have never been disappointed.  You get what you pay for!

### 5/5 — Easy to book the activities

*2026-07-31, version 15.18.0*

I did book a few activities in Mexico, USA different states. It’s easy to book. I like that it allows you to cancel and wait to pay later.

### 5/5 — I love Viator!

*2026-07-29, version 15.18.0*

I make every reservation, for every event and trip that I can through Viator.  It’s easy, safe and convenient!  Best tourist/ travel site ever!!

### 2/5 — Keeps Canceling My Bookings

*2026-07-29, version 15.18.0*

Two times while traveling I’ve been informed my booking was cancelled because payment was declined although it’s been days before payment was due. Be forewarned they will do this and not even reach out to give you the opportunity to pay before canceling your booking.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Do not use this

*2026-08-09, version 15.19.0*

They are terrible and incompetent. We booked a tour for our family, they took our money but didn’t include my kid in the booking. So there weren’t enough tickets for us to tour the place we traveled thousands of miles to see. An unbelievable letdown. They gave us a partial refund though. To add insult to injury. Get your guides with a good company!

### 1/5 — Bad Discount offer

*2026-08-07, version 15.19.0*

I received a $25 off coupon in email and when I tried to use it I was told it was not valid or expired even though the email stated it doesn’t expire for another 10 days

### 1/5 — Only good when things right

*2026-07-30, version 15.18.0*

Company is great when your goes well but when things go wrong, they make you do soooooo much to get a refund. Biggest waste of my time and has completely ruined my trip.

### 1/5 — Promo Code

*2026-07-19, version 15.16.0*

There was a 15% off promo code. Booked through the app and only took off $50 on a $1930 excursion. I am super disappointed in Viator, false advertising!

### 1/5 — Poor refund experience

*2026-07-17, version 15.16.0*

I canceled a service I had booked paying with PayPal.  They were unable to refund my money.  I received an email requesting I email them with my bank account and routing number for them to direct deposit.  There are so many ways to refund money.  Snail mail is a better option than emailing my account information.  I can’t recommend a company that isn’t able to properly process refunds.

### 1/5 — A steaming pile of excrement

*2026-07-14, version 15.16.0*

The app is fine but the company is hot garbage. Avoid unless you enjoy being screwed over. Will never use this sham of a company again.

### 1/5 — My safety was not considered when my tour guide ABANDONED me and my friend in an obscure city.

*2026-07-12, version 15.15.0*

Warning and beware! Book through ANY OTHER APP!! My friend and I were left for dead in the middle of nowhere due to being 8 minutes late to a meeting point and told to figure it out ourselves. We are tourists in a foreign country and don’t speak the language, we got lost for a few minutes and they drove off with all our stuff still on the bus. Again, we were abandoned in an obscure “city”/town in the middle of nowhere, hours from where we were staying. I have actually had nightmares about this scenario happening. We booked through Viator but Viator operated the tour through a company called “walking tours”. Viator did not care in the slightest and didn’t even give us a refund. Thank you Viator for making my NIGHTMARES come true.

### 1/5 — Forced to download app

*2026-07-12, version 15.15.0*

I was forced to download the Viator app in order to access the tickets to the Van Gogh museum. I will never use this service again.

### 1/5 — Change of payment method

*2026-07-12, version 15.15.0*

It is not possible to update the payment detail

### 1/5 — Tour Itinerary Not Matching Experience

*2026-07-09, version 15.15.0*

I used Viator this summer to book 3 different tour experiences in Europe.   2 of the 3 did NOT live up to the itinerary descriptions.  Although the customer service at Viator was responsive, they were not able to get the refunds on these tours that they should have from the tour operators after not delivery the right level of experience.  Afraid I will seek other apps/services for booking tours in the future at this point.
