For further assistance contact our Customer Care.

• +I am travelling in a group - do you cater for groups and/or have a group discount program?

  Viator accepts a maximum of 9 passengers per booking at one time. The travel services Viator offers are specialized for independent travelers and small groups. We cannot guarantee that travellers in a large group will be seated together. At this time we are unable to offer any special group discounts.

  Viator accepts a maximum of 9 passengers per booking at one time. For bookings of 9 people or more, please make the appropriate number of bookings and include a note in the Special Requirements box to notify Viator Customer Service.

Please note, at this time we are unable to offer any special group discounts.

• +I'm not sure if my booking was processed, did you get my booking request?

  Please contact Viator Customer Service via email with your booking details including the site you were booking on, the name of the travel service, the name/s of the passenger/s and the date of travel. We will check to see if we have received your booking request successfully and will be in contact with you via email.

• +I'm getting errors / blank pages when I am trying to book, what is the problem?

  Errors can often occur as pages can be "cached". We recommend you "refresh" or "reload" your pages and try again. If you are still experiencing difficulty, please contact Viator Customer Service via email with the details, including the site you are in, the exact error message you are receiving as well as the page you are on.

• +I am receiving an error message

  There could be many reasons for this. Please contact the 24/7 Viator Customer Service via email, with details of the site you are on, the page you were on and the error message you received.

• +I have not received a reply to my emails

  Some email internet providers can mark general booking emails such as those sent from Viator as "spam" - please check your spam folder for previous email replies. If you have your spam filter set on the highest ranking, only emails from senders in your address box will go into your inbox. Any other emails (such as replies from internet sites you have booked on) will go into a "spam" folder. These emails can sit in this folder for up to 7 days and then your email system will automatically delete them.

• +Is my credit card safe?

  Viator uses the Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer and all other popular browsers. SSL encrypts your personal information such as your password, address and telephone number, and your credit card is available only to you and the credit card companies. This encryption makes doing business on the Internet as secure as making purchases by telephone.
