Poor Customer Service Experience

alexandramclendon, Sep 2024

This was an incredibly disappointing customer service experience. I booked this tour the day of, and it showed confirmed on the app. I received the Viator countdown notifications til my tour. But when I showed up at the meeting spot, there was no one there. I tried reaching out to the tour company, but could not and live chatted with Viator. They advised that the tour company had canceled my booking because there were not enough people booked and that they’d reached out via email. I don’t typically check my email when on vacation and instead was relying on checking the app verifying that the booking was confirmed. This tour company didn’t cancel my reservation with Viator, which is why Viator still showed the tour confirmed. I lost a precious vacation afternoon and an opportunity to book another tour because they left the tour as confirmed rather than initiating the cancellation with Viator. The lost time and experience is something that can’t be gotten back.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear customer, we are sorry you did not notice our message. It shows inside the application and it doubles in your email too. Why do we write messages and not automatically cancel the tour? We often have alternatives to offer on nearby dates, such as not canceling the tour for you but moving it. Sorry, it came the way it did for you :-(

Taken advantage of good nature

Thomas_R, Sep 2024

We signed up for a private tour, but they had planned to add another couple and did not inform us until day before. They did ask our permission and dropped the €70 fuel fee. We agreed because we were helping out another couple. When they admitted this was know for a while I feel taken advantage of. If I had know it would not be private I would not have agreed to a charge of over €300.

Very Enjoyable Walking Tour

Shanker_K, Jun 2024

Diana did a very fine job of introducing us to the excellent art nouveau architecture of old town Riga. She was articulate and engaging, covering a lot of ground, literally and figuratively in a short amount of time. We had a sudden brief downpour and she promptly adjusted her talk to accommodate our 'downtime' under a portico while we waited for it to stop - the sign of an experienced guide. I would highly recommend the tour to other visitors.

Great Art Nouveau Tour

Barbara_B, Jun 2022

We had a great tour with Gunta. She not only showed us the Art Niveau Highlights of Riga, but also what led to it.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Hello! Thank you for your review! It was very nice to spend time with the two of you!

Guta was a fantastic...

Amanda_H, Jan 2022

Guta was a fantastic guide! She was very knowledgeable and passionate about the Art Nouveau architecture in Riga. She even offered to take us through the Riga Central Market afterwards because the tour we had arranged canceled at the last minute.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Dear Amanda, it was a pleasure to have you on the tour! Thank you for your very satisfactory and honest review!

A must when visiting Riga!

Maria_B, May 2019

Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. For almost two hours we got lots of information, stories and fun facts not only about the art nouveau-district, but also about the history of Riga, monuments and different traditions in Latvia. The Art Nouveau-district is a must-see when visiting Riga and I can highly recommend this walking-tour.
