The trip was fine, but I would not use Viator ever again. You had the time wrong and the type of flight. We bought doors off. When we checked in, the operator said Viator is known for mistakes. I may post on social media to beware of Viator. And when I called customer service at Viator to confirm time and type, your agent was cluless

we had booked a helicopter flight with open door. once on arrival found out the flight was closed door. we should have moved the flight to another day and then we had to pay an extra 100 dollars. it was a wasted day of our vacation. I ended up hanging up on the phone with viator for another 40 minutes but no solution was found and finally the phone hung up.
