Our schedule was tight and we couldn't wait any longer in the freezing cold, so we call Viator who accepted our request to cancel. Then Viator messaged us the next day saying they reviewed our situation and would refuse any refund. Wow! They break the contract and refuse to take care of a loyal customer.”
