Using Viator messed me up big time !!! I am a big guy about 285 lbs. The Viator website asked my weight and I was honest. At No Time did Viator alert me to the 250 lb weight limit of the helicopter operator. I even over stated the weight of my partner. Imagine my embarrassment when I had to step on the scale and told I couldn't go on the helicopter. So then my girlfriend, who is terrified of heights, had to decide whether to go alone or just skip it. The actual helicopter operator said this is a regular occurrence with Viator and they know all about the weight limit and don't inform customers like me. At the end, my G.F. went and had fun but I won't use Viator again.
