I lost my money on this booking. The Lincoln museum said there was no such thing as an audio tour AND the tour was free. At first I was informed it was 40 for 2 people and then wonder of wonder I got a credit so that I only had to pay 2.00. I believe I was scammed

I'm not sure what has happened here Rhonda, but this certainly isn't a scam. This is a self-guided walking tour with the VoiceMap app that starts at Lafayette Park and ends at Ford's Theatre. It is not an entrance ticket to the museum at Ford's Theatre or any of the other attractions en route. This is clearly stated in the description, and the list of exclusions specifically lists, "tickets or entrance fees to any museums or other attractions en route". We also sent you a message soon after receiving your booking confirming this, and explaining how the app works. We do this for every booking. I can see that Viator has processed a partial refund for you, but at no point did we receive any communication from you or from them. I'm sorry you feel like you were scammed. This is obviously not a positive outcome for us. But it's hard to know what we could have done differently here.

I have tried to have my purchase canceled. The place was closed and this app still took my money and there’s no way they can cancel this purchase for $35 never again I will try to use it.

We rented Lime scooters & took the tour that way- SO MUCH FUN!!! Highly recommend on scooter. The GPS technology worked very well. Narration kicked in when we were in the right spot.
