Not on the List!
I booked two excursions through Viator during my trip to Tenerife. The first was a whale-watching excursion, and unfortunately, there was an issue with the booking. When we arrived at the meeting point and found the boat, we were told that our names were not on the passenger list. The captain checked everything and confirmed that we were not listed.
I contacted Viator immediately while we were there, and they spoke directly with the captain. We were advised to pay for the excursion directly and were told that Viator would refund us. Thankfully, we were still able to enjoy the boat trip, but the situation was quite stressful and certainly not the start to the excursion we had expected.
The second excursion was parasailing, and thankfully, everything went smoothly. It was well organised and we had a really enjoyable experience.
Overall, while we had a great time on both activities, the booking issue with the whale-watching excursion was disappointing and caused unnecessary stress. I hope Viator can improve its booking and communication process to prevent this happening to other customers.
