We were to visit Newport on Oct 3 2022 as part of a cruise itinerary. Had reserved this tour weeks before and paid $150.00 for the two of us. When the ship arrived at Newport, the seas were too rough to be tendered in to the port and that stop was cancelled by the cruise Captain. Rough seas were remnants of Hurricane Ian. We immediately called the tour operator (two hours before the scheduled start time) to inform that we could not meet for the tour (left message on voicemail) asking for a refund, Were advised later by e-mail that there would be no refund. This seems extremely unfair as these circumstances were entirely outside of our control and were weather related. So, if the tour operator has the ability to cancel for weather related reasons, why wouldn't it apply to us as well? Be careful if you book a tour through this operator.

Sorry the industry policies seem unfair to you, as written in the Tour description. We have these in place to survive as a small business. We do refund due to illness or worse. As you were told, we will honor your tickets indefinitely to you or to your relatives. Thanks for understanding and again, sorry if you don't. Either way, Best health! PS: one identical review from the same customer will suffice

We were on a cruise, and our tour was to be on 10/3/22. However, due to effects of Hurricane Ian, the sea and winds were so extreme that we could not be tendered into the port. We called and informed Peter as soon as we were notified by the ship's Captain. This was just a couple of hours before the tour was to begin. We knew there was a 24 hour cancellation policy to receive a refund, but we requested an exception due to the highly unusual weather situation. Peter denied our request, even though he may have canceled the tour himself, as driving would have been difficult in the extreme windy conditions. In addition, many of the reputable tour companies on Viator state that if the weather is not suitable, they will cancel the tour and refund your money. It would seem that this should be standard with all tours sold on Viator. Bottom line, I'm sure Peter does a good tour. But even in the event of hurricane winds, he will not refund your money.

Peter was knowledgeable, he showed us the history we were interested and helped us to plan things to do after the tour ended. He has a great sense of humour and easy to talk to. He also picked us up from our ship and left us at Breakers so we could see that at our leisure.
