We were so looking forward to this trip and can't overstate how stressful the start to the trip was. We were at our pick up point just before 7.15 am, for a 7.30 am pick up. Driver was fifteen minutes late and no one told us that we would be joining a shuttle pick up for people going to Las Vegas before being dropped of nearly three hrs later in a car park in Santa Cruz. The drive was horrendous with the driver constantly on his mobile phone, checking paper work, for the first time ever I felt so unsafe in a vehicle. Stopped twice on a motorway narrow hard shoulder to check google maps making us late for what we know now was the meeting point as he went house to house to pick up passengers. No explanation given to us, we kept asking what time our trip would start and he kept given us false updates. Fruit was our driver in the car park and he was so different to the driver who dropped us of. A careful driver and was so relieved to know that he would be taken us back to our hotel. We would of enjoyed this trip so much more if we hadn't gone through what we did before boarding the Redwood train and then Santa Cruz. I do believe that Viator should look into this trip as transfer to the main trip was horrendous.

Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, we apologize that your experience was not a positive one. We do want to clarify that having different pick-up locations for a specific route is to improve efficiency for all passengers being picked up, but we do apologize for not notifying you of this beforehand. As for our drivers/guides, most of the time, they are authorized to use their mobile devices to contact passengers as they arrive to pick up points in a safe manner, if that was not the case, we will look more into the situation. We are happy to hear that you are satisfied with Fruit's services and will relay your compliments to him. We are constantly dedicating resources to improve our services, and with every feedback, that brings us closer to our goal. Thank you again for your time, and we hope that we can provide you with reasons to give us 5 stars the next time you travel with us.

My God, this is a perfect journey. The tour guide from downtown San Francisco is Ryan, and the tourist train arrives at Red Shirt Park in an hour. After an hour of train travel, I saw that the redwood trees all over the mountains are more than a thousand years old. This tour guide told me that the next two beaches were perfect. We had lunch at the first beach. There was an abalone factory in the middle. We didn't know what it was. The tour guide said it was to experience the life of fishermen. , the tour guide said that it is a place with a history of 140 years. I saw a colorful hotel here with a few friends. It is really great. It is recommended that you take a look! The tour guide is very good and caring. I also asked him about other itineraries of their company. I will definitely participate. It's a perfect journey. Thank you Ryan

You booked us on a Chinese tour without prior warning . It was not a Viator . The driver spoke primarily Chinese and there was no discourse on history or background of any of the places we went to visit . The o Pt reason it did not get a 1 star was because the train ride was only awesome experience . I will follow up with a phone call to Viator . The guide was mearly a driver not a GUIDE . Not worth the money like previous tours through this company . I was Never Warned that we were placed with a Chinese tour company . We are English speaking and could not enjoy the experience

Dear Customer, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback about our service. Our guide has been in the United States for 20 years, he can speak fluent English, so we also very confused that what made you feel it was Chinese tour, but we still so sorry for the guide's insufficient explanations about the attraction and we would like to refund service fee of $12/person to you, please contact us via [email protected] with your BR number. Thank you!
