    Very upset

    Michele_K, Oct 2024
    I am in a foreign country . Limited access to emails . I have the Viator app downloaded on my phone . They showed a meeting point . Called them and tried email and text to confirm the location . Phone numbers didn’t work . Did not get an answer . Get to the location and no tour guide or guidance . We missed the whole event ! Sadly disappointed!
