Mislead booking
I had trouble booking the Spice Experience at the Gold Restaurant, thus turned to Viator. However, upon arrival, I discovered that, despite paying for the more expensive Spice Experience, Viator made reservations for the less expensive regular Dining Room. Viator pocketed the difference between the 2 options. Do not trust Viator to book the correct option. The Gold Restaurant itself was very much fun and a great value. I did not let Viator effect the evening.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Paul. I’m sorry the booking you received did not match the Spice Experience you expected. I’m glad you still enjoyed your evening at GOLD Restaurant. We take accurate tour information seriously; please contact us through Viator with your booking reference so we can review the details, and Viator Support can assist with any booking or payment discrepancy. Warm regards, Tafadhali
