There was no...

Donna_K, Apr 2026

There was no “entertainment “. The bus was 45minutes late. The tea they gave was no more than an 1 inch in the glass. I had asked for water, that never came. We had no explanation of where we were or what we were seeing. My friends and I were so disappointed.

Lack of Properly Processing Purcases

Melody_R, Apr 2026

It was the worst experience ever! My friend bought tix for us to tour Philly on Tea Around Town for my birthday celebration. We traveled from out of state and planned to arrive early, so we would NOT miss the bus. We were beyond excited to board the bus as other guests arrived.. My friend provided the scan bar code from Viator, & to our dismay, the hostess told us we were NOT on the guest list, so we needed to step aside to let the other guest board. We were extremely distraught as the the hostess took our information and told us there were not any seats left because Viator did not share our purchase with them. She said it happens often, & she’d share our issue with management , then promptly dismissed us & boarded the bus. Then the irate bus driver threatened to physically remove us from the bus if we did not move. We refused to leave until we we able to contact the company for a refund. After an hour or so, we were given a full refund. We were grateful that a refund was issued, however Viator needs to streamline their processing procedures as a third party vendor so customers are not publicly embarrassed or humiliated when they are refused entrance to an event they purchased well in advance.

Thank God for your staff

We were waiting in the cold for half an hour before we received the text saying the tour would be an hour and half late. So we went to lunch. When we boarded the tour I couldn’t get to all three of my tickets. I had vouchers for all three, only two tickets showed up. The only saving grace was Sarah. She was lovely, fixed the seating arrangement, my tickets, sang beautifully and was so sweet. She deserves a raise.

Great time

Was a cool experience, my fiancé really loved it as she is an afternoon tea aficionado. Definitely recommended for a birthday! Jack and Thomas were great hosts and made the experience special, Jack was very charismatic and a good singer!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We're delighted that our staff contributed to making your experience exceptional. Your support is valued, and we look forward to the opportunity to serve you again at Tea Around Town.

Will not refund for losing their own bus.

We scheduled a tea time for 2:30pm, at which time there was no bus. Another patron waiting for the same tea time contacted the tour company and they said it would be another 30 minutes. Which we all waited, in the cold with our families and friends. There must have been 20 of us waiting and after the 30 minutes, the tour operator said it would be another hour. "they couldn't find the bus" was their response. We contacted the tour operator, and they said they would refund our tickets. A full week on, they have failed to do so. Was a terrible experience and poor customer support. I do not recommend.
