my experience with viator was truly the worst experience, the receptionist christal is extremely rude, she very unprofessional, she charged me for being on time a total of $270 i asked to speak to her boss she wouldn’t allow me to reason with them… i went inside she had her kids running all over the place which is not where you should have your kids knowing it’s a place of business.. i was talked to very rudely and i would like to be called to file a complaint… asap and also fight back for the money she took from me..

Your flight was for 1pm we called you at 12:45 to find out if you were coming for your tour, your response was when I get there I get there. You checked in at 1:07 technically you forfeited your flight but we put you on the next tour as long as you paid the late fee which was 200.00 plus the heliport fee 70.00. The only person that was rude was you, it is no concern of yours if there are kids in the office. You forgot to mention that we put you up on the Ultimate Tour which is longer than the tour you booked.

First time in a helicopter and loved it. Highly recommend and would do it again. Quick and easy experience. All just too short.

Arrived at the pick up point, early as strenuously requested, which is in the middle of no where, could not get any signal on phone to contact them, when they did arrive was told our flight was pushed back 2 hours and we just had to wait around, they said they had no facilities for us to wait, so just had to sit in the hot sun with children. Helicopter flight itself and the pilots were great, but then dropped, by staff, back at the meeting point, asked if someone could call is a cab, they said no! Just left us. Would not recommend this tour due to the lack of customer care. They need to organise a more secure drop off and pick up point and would not recommend because of this. I hate to write a bad review, but I wouldn’t want another family to be in this position.
