I checked the weather all week, and it was good. When we woke on day of trip it was pouring out, and the the weather app was calling for 80% rain for an outdoor trip. I called and asked if we could switch our tour to Friday, and was told no since we didn’t call prior to 24 hours. What a shame to waste money. It didn’t feel like any consideration was given. Wouldn’t book through Viator again.
