Worst Tour Operator Ever!

Tour Operator never showed at our hotel to pick us up! They also never contacted us in any way, shape or form!

Operator response

Hi Mark, I’m truly sorry for the frustration you experienced. According to the Viator record, the booking was placed late at night for the following morning’s departure. Our operations team saw it the next morning, by which time the pickup window had already passed. Our emergency phone/WhatsApp numbers and email were listed on the voucher; we didn’t receive any call or message. In addition, once we noticed the timing issue we wrote to offer moving your tour to a later date, but we didn’t receive a reply. As soon as we confirmed the situation, we processed a full refund immediately. We take reliability very seriously and normally operate this tour daily with confirmed, advance reservations. If you give us another chance, please contact us directly and we’ll prioritize your booking with a courtesy discount. Thank you for the feedback—it helps us improve our after-hours monitoring.

Do NOT Book Tours with the company: "Before Travel" . They messed up TWO of our Tours

Stay away from the company "Before Travel". Terrible operations. #1. Whats important when touring a big city? Your Time! The driver never showed up and because their office does not open until 9am (tour pick at 8:15) their staff can't look for a new driver until 45 minutes later therefore certain attractions we were SUPPOSED TO visit were removed from the itinerary that day. But the price didn't change! #2. The driver also went to the wrong hotel. even though we sent the address, not just the hotel name. #3. THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY TOUR THEY SCREWED UP. We booked a different tour on a different day, in Turkey (Selçuk) and they LOST our reservation for that one! It was booked several weeks in advance and was already PAID. Again, DO NOT book any tours with "Before Travel" in Turkey. The ONLY saving grace for this tour was the Tour Guide. He was knowledgeable, clear, personable and even handled some rude visitors very professionally. I've traveled overseas many times, I'm very detail oriented and this was by far the worst experience.

I highly recommend *Before You Travel Agency* to arrange for your worry free journeys & trips.

*Before You Travel Agency* was very useful. They arranged our day trip to Sheila and Agva and we spent a lovely day starting with a delicious village beakfast in Polonozkoy and a lovely day on beach of Agva and the river boat trip in a river with a short stop in Sila with the magnificent view of the gigantic rock Islands in the Black Sea.

Amazing Istanbul

Really recommended tour agent, they have a various package of amazing tours from 1 day tour up to 10 days tour, from mountainous up to the sea. Best hospitality and friendly agents.
