No sign of the guide at...
No sign of the guide at the location upon our arrival. We were 5 min early. The guide finally showed up 20 mins past the scheduled time while we stood outside in a busy area with no place to sit and in the heat. We requested our money back but Viator refused and claimed they did not have enough information when I had contacted them right away. We are in a new city and not sure of our surroundings yet they gave us no apology or compensation for this poor service.
