Make sure you read all...

Jeanette_E, July 2026

Make sure you read all the info before arriving for your climb. Wavers etc need to be done via email before your visit. The experience is enjoyable & interesting with historical facts. Our guide Shane was fantastic. Fun, engaging, caring (my Aunt is 72 & he spent a lot of time speaking to her & making sure she was ok) He made the whole experience even better than we expected.

No Communication About Cancellation

EC_L, June 2026

Vendor apparently cancelled event but did not communicate this to us via text or email or app. When we reached out to the vendor via the Viator App, we didn’t get a response. It has been hot in the UK this week, and we have had other events get cancelled. In all cases, we were notified and our monies refunded. Viator did refund our tickets which we greatly appreciate! However, it was a lost evening while on vacation and lost transportation costs. Very disappointing.
