Beware Viator’s Misrepresented Hidden Fees!!! Don’t be cheated!!!

Hong_L, Mar 2026

We paid $120 for two for an all admission fees included Viator tour. However when we arrived at the entrances, the Tour Guide Aly said that we had to pay each of the three entrance fees with our credit cards which we had to, totaling an extra US$50. Although the Tour Guide Aly was making efforts in guiding us which we had kindly tipped him, the misrepresented hidden US$50 entrance fees were bad tastes in our mouths. We demand refund and credit!!!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Clients, Thank you for two things. First, you have credited our tour guide's professionalism and kindness by tipping him generously. Second, you mentioned the total amount you paid upon booking, which is the exact cost of the option that clearly states entry fees are not included. The $50 paid for admission is the official price you had to pay the authorities. A few days after the tour, you texted us on WhatsApp, trying to get paid back without any right, otherwise you would write this unfair review! We were patient and explained everything to you in the friendliest way. You pretended to be convinced, but kept trying to harm us as long as we didn't submit to your blackmail attempt. To the Viator team: You sent us two emails. The first was to inform us of the issue. Shortly after, you sent a second email advising us to disregard this unfair and malicious review.
