Do not book

Jeremy_H, Dec 2025
On arrival at the museum, I was refused admission. Apparently the museum's partnership with Viator has been terminated.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hello Jeremy. Thank you for your feedback. We have been selling these tickets on the Viator platform for more than 7 years and can assure you the partnership is in good stead. I'm not sure what exactly happened during your visit which caused the non acceptance of the tickets. We have processed your refund request. Best

Fake tickets sold on viator

Do not buy this from viator. They will not honor tickets bought through here. Total waste of money. You'll have to repurchase when you get there. Such a great story that could be told. But it wasn't interactive.

This venue did not accept Viator

This venue did not accept Viator so I had to pay again. Not a high amount but disappointing all the same

Response from Host, Feb 2025
