Atlanta and Chicago tour the Victoria Falls.
Our guide Shelton was excellent. He was very professional, informative, warm, and courteous. He guided our tour based on our pace. He spotted the wildlife and plants and helped us take fantastic pictures of the falls. After the falls he took us to the Palm River Hotel for Afternoon tea which was great and the view of the river was so tranquil. Thank you for a wonderful tour. Well done Shelton!!!
Operator response

They allowed me to book,...
They allowed me to book, and then canceled near the start of the tour as I was a solo traveler. I had to plan an entirely new tour last-minute. I was informed in messaging that a full refund would be processed, but almost a week later, I have seen nothing. Would not recommend. I will be processing a complaint with Viator.
Operator response
Dear Jenna,
Thank you for your feedback, and we're truly sorry for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced.
After reviewing our system, your booking shows as cancelled and refunded. Unfortunately, it appears there was a system error that allowed the booking to be confirmed even though this particular tour requires a minimum number of participants and we are unable to operate it for a solo traveler.
As soon as we became aware of the issue, we processed the refund on our end. Please note that refunds are handled by Viator and your bank or card provider, so it can sometimes take several business days before the funds appear in your account.
We sincerely apologize for the disruption to your travel plans and understand how disappointing it must have been to make alternative arrangements at the last minute. We hope the refund reaches your account soon, and if you still have not received it, Viator's customer support will be able to provide an update on the status of the refund.
Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you all the best with your future travels.

*what a wonderful experience*
I am not regretting of booking this tour after we had some quarrel with my wife. Actually
*what a wonderful experience*
I am not regretting of booking this tour after we had some quarrel with my wife. Actually we landed in Victoria falls in the afternoon from South Africa we were not sure which tours we can book though we had some we booked online with other companies. When we booked this short tour ooooh l was more than happy, together with my family. We had an overall understanding of the city and good place to eat as well as tours we can book without help from an agent. We learned a lot about the culture of Zimbabwe. In fact just book this tour you will not regret. Thank you Simon our guide.
