Due to a lack of communication on the part of the tour company, my family and I missed out on the city tour. The tour schedule was altered, but we didn't receive any email notification, so we showed up at the original time. No one was there, we were still billed, and were told we would not be refunded as it was our responsibility to go back to Viator and check for correspondence via the chat section. if we had received an email, it would have prompted us to check the Viator chat section however, we did not receive such an email.
Didn’t get to go because plane and traffic made our arrival at hotel to late no refund given very disappointed couldn’t reschedule. Too late.
Our tour was awesome. Our guide not only showed us all the amazing lights but added interesting history of the area. She also catered the trip to what we wanted to see and took very nice pictures of us by the tree to have. Would highly recomend, a great way to see New York City during Christmas time.
My wife and I really enjoyed seeing all the sights, and hearing about the history of the region and sights. Liz was terrific in her presentations and knowledge while guiding us around. Just a great evening. Thanks Liz!
