I found out the tour was a nogo.After I arrived at the waiting spot. It sounds like Viator scheduled the tour on a date that City Tours was not scheduling tours. The reason I gave 2 stars instead of one is that the person from City Tours reached out to me when he found out.I had been waiting when City Tours did not know that Viator had scheduled a tour. Both the person I spoke to at Viator and the man I spoke to at city tours helped smooth my disappointment. In addition, the man at City Tours really tried to help find an alternate tour that we could schedule this week. Unfortunately, we couldn't find anything that worked. I've dealt with Viator before in Europe and was happy with my tours there.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

We sincerely apologize for this situation. Our tours are always something to look forward to and we understand how much of a let down it must be when it doesn't occur. We are working with Viator to learn where your booking got lost and why we never received any notification on our end and hope to prevent this from happening ever again. I hope you were still able to enjoy some of the dining recommendations in the area and that we get the chance to have you on our food tours (for real) in the future.

Ruined our trip

This was the worst experience weekend ever had with viator. It almost felt like a scam. Technically it was until someone confirmed we’ve been refunded. I called to confirm the meeting place and was given directions. We arrived but no Tour guide was there. Another couple was there waiting also. I called the numbermultiple times and no one would answer. Finally 30 minutes after the supposed start time I received a call saying that the Tour guide had dropped the bell and that the Tour was canceled. It was really unfortunate as we’d flown up from Charlotte just for the day so we couldn’t even make other arrangements. Later I was contacted by the owner saying he was sorry for the inconvenience and that we’d be refunded by Viator. We shall see.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

We are embarrassed by what happened with this tour and sincerely apologize for our scheduling oversight. We always pride ourselves in our professionalism and genuine enjoyment in making sure our guests have a phenomenal time on our tours, but there is no excuse to justify the tour guide's oversight of their schedule. We take our food tours very seriously because we understand that they are something to look forward to and that you had entrusted us to guide your evening. In addition to your full refund, we would be honored to take you on a complimentary tour if you revisit Philadelphia. Since TripAdvisor does not share email addresses, please email us at operations@cityfoodtours.com mentioning this conversation with the name from your booking and we will be happy to send you two free tickets to our Historic Happy Hour food tour that you had originally booked. Again, we apologize and are embarrassed, as this has never happened before and hope that you were still able to enjoy some of your time in Philadelphia.
