Don’t book this one!

Alvin_W, Apr 2025
Pay attention to the reviews, especially the one where their time came and went for their New Year’s Eve cruise. Exactly same thing happened to me and the cruise company ignores all messages 7 hours before my set to leave time. Lousy way to spend my last day in a beautiful country. First time out of 17 tours booked through Viator that I’ve ever had a problem. This one expects you to not just get the confirmations but to then some how know to call the number on your ticket and double confirm your pick up spot. I’ve requested Viator to remove them but hopefully people read this and never book with this cruise tour as they are the worst I’ve found on Viator. 17/18 tours no problem now this. I would give zero stars if possible for ruining my final night here.

Istanbul Turkey Bosphorus Cruise New Year's Dinner, Entertainment - Cancelled without Notice

Dessy_A, Jan 2024
The New Year's Eve Event Operator Had Issues with the Boat and didn't bother to tell me and my family. We waited at our hotel until the pick-up date came and went and we tried contacting the operator via phone, whatsapp and through the viator app. We also contacted viator customer support/service, they were absolutely no help. The refund for this event that got cancelled by the tour operator is still not complete or refunded. Both the tour operator and Viator could not offer any compensation or alternative solution. My family spent New Year's Eve at a Cafe after travelling so for from Australia. No and expect that you will be on your own if anything goes wrong with any of viator's supplier's/vendors. Hit and Miss. Good Luck using VIATOR.

Le chauffeur n'est pas...

Othman_O, Jan 2024
Le chauffeur n'est pas venu ne chercher à l'hôtel, l'agence nous a prévenu à ton trouver un autre endroit pour passer la veille du nouvel an. Même pas un mot d'excuse. C'était vraiment lamentable. Victor, plus jamais pour moi, ils ne sont pas sérieux.
