Products and Booking Reservations
By booking a reservation for a Product through the Website, you acknowledge that you accept the practices described in our Privacy Policy at http://www.partner.viator.com/en/25241/privacy-policy and this Agreement. In addition, you warrant that you are 18 years of age or older, that you possess the legal authority to enter into this Agreement, use this Website, book the Product, and that all information you supply is true and accurate. You further agree that you will use the booking functionality of this Website to make only legitimate reservations for you or others for whom you are legally authorized to act. Any false or fraudulent reservation is prohibited, and any user who attempts such a reservation may have his or her Viator account terminated.
Viator is not a travel agency and does not provide or own transportation services, accommodations, tours, excursions or other travel experiences. Although Viator displays information about travel experiences offered by third-party suppliers and facilitates reservations those suppliers, such actions do not in any way imply, suggest, or constitute Viator's sponsorship or approval of third-party suppliers, or any affiliation between Viator and third-party suppliers. Although Viator members may rate and review particular travel experiences based on their own experiences, Viator does not endorse or recommend the products or services of any third-party suppliers. You agree that Viator is not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of information it obtains from third-party suppliers and displays on its Website.
If you book a reservation for a travel experience through the Website, you agree to review and be bound by the supplier's terms and conditions and any other rules or policies related to the supplier's travel experience. Your interactions with third-party suppliers are at your own risk. Viator will have no liability with respect to the acts, omissions, errors, representations, warranties, breaches or negligence of any third-party suppliers or for any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages or expenses resulting from your interactions with third-party suppliers.
This Website may link you to supplier sites or other websites that Viator does not operate or control. For further information, please refer to the "Links to Third-Party Sites" section below.
Modifications & Amendments
All requests for modifications and amendments to your booking must be directed to the Viator Customer Care Team ( click here to submit a "Date Amendment" request on an existing booking ) who will process the request. See the section "Payment & Cancellations" below for additional information with respect to cancelling a booking.
Viator does not charge a fee to amend or change the dates of an existing booking, as long as the request is received by our Customer Care team more than three (3) days ahead of your confirmed travel date.
It is not possible to change or modify a special event, theater or show ticket. Sales of these tickets are final and cannot be amended once your original purchase is confirmed.
All other date-change requests and amendments are subject to availability by our suppliers and/or service providers; Viator cannot guarantee the success of any date-change request.
If you request a date change within three (3) days or less of your confirmed travel date, Viator will attempt to honor your request; however changes made three days or less from your original travel date may be subject to an additional fee. For multi-day and overnight tours, date changes made within seven (7) days of your confirmed travel date may also be subject to additional fees.
If you make a purchase using a Viator promotion code, or if you accept a discount or special-offer price during the Viator checkout process, you may invalidate your discount or special-offer price by making any changes or amendments to your itinerary once your purchase is complete. Viator may decide, at its sole discretion, to honor your discount or special-offer pricing if you make a post-purchase change or amendment to your itinerary. However Viator reserves the right to invalidate your discount or special-offer pricing if you make any changes to your confirmed itinerary.
Occasionally our suppliers and/or service providers make changes to tour dates, prices, inclusions, coverage, age requirements, and other Product features and/or requirements. As a result, Viator reserves the right to cancel, change or substitute any service, tour, ticket or product that you have booked at this Website, at any time, for any reason. In such cases, if you are dissatisfied with the alternatives offered, you are entitled to a full refund of the original purchase price. Notwithstanding the above, when we are informed in advance by our agents, service providers and/or suppliers of a significant change to a booking and/or to a tour, product or event, we make every reasonable effort to notify the consumer, travel agent and/or distributor as appropriate, in order to amend or re-issue the booking where feasible.
For products noted as a "Worry-free Shore Excursion", if you are not returned to the ship in time to board, we will arrange the necessary transport to the next port-of-call. This policy applies only to our contracted local suppliers and only when, through no fault or action of your own, you are not returned to the ship in time to board. The policy is void in instances where delay is caused by your own actions and/or you have deviated from the Viator activity or tour. You must supply Viator with correct arrival and departure ship information and ensure there is enough time (minimum 2 hours) between the tour end time and the ship departure time. You must contact Viator directly to request next port-of-call transportation arrangements as customers cannot book their own travel. Viator will select and book travel for you to the next port of call (not to exceed US$1,000 per person). In addition, if your ship misses a port of call or is delayed beyond the commencement time of your Worry-free Shore Excursion, simply contact Viator within 14 days. Pending verification of the ship’s actual itinerary, we will issue you a refund. Viator's 'Worry-Free Shore Excursion' guarantee does not apply to excursions with private tour guides booked through Viator’s Private Guide program.
Pricing & Inclusions/Exclusions
Prices listed on the Website are per person, unless otherwise specified.
Prices are based on the local tariff at the time of quoting, converted at the prevailing foreign-exchange rate as determined by Viator.
Price quotations are subject to change without notice, until a booking has been confirmed.
Unless otherwise specified, prices do not include any local taxes or use-fees, including foreign departure, security, port charges, park fees, customs, immigration, agricultural, passenger-facility charges or international transportation tax.
Prices do not include tips/gratuities to tour directors, drivers or local guides; passport and visa fees; baggage and personal insurance; any items of a personal nature; taxes or duties; and any beverages or food not specifically listed under "Inclusions" on the product pages of the Website.
Payments & Cancellations
When you book a reservation for a Product through the Website, Viator collects your payment information and processes your payment as described below under “Payment Processing”. Viator accepts the following credit cards: Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover. There is no charge or service fee for processing credit or debit card payments. Full payment by credit or debit card is required to make a reservation. Payment will be listed as Viator/TripAdvisor on the credit or debit card statement.
No refunds are available once a tour or service has commenced, or in respect of any package, accommodation, meals or any other services utilized.
If you wish to cancel a reservation made via the Website, the supplier's cancellation policy contained in the applicable product listing will apply to, and govern the terms of, your cancellation and any refunds. When canceling a booking, you will be notified via email or telephone of the total refund amount you will receive, if any.
The standard cancellation policy for suppliers is:
1. a 100% refund for cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance of the start date of the experience.
2. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the start date of the experience will receive no refund.
Cancellation policies vary from the standard and you must check the supplier's cancellation policy contained in the applicable product listing at the time of your booking, which is the policy that will apply to and govern the terms of your cancellation and any refunds.
The value of the transaction may be subject to taxes, duties, foreign transaction, currency exchange or other fees. Your bank or credit or debit card company may convert the payment into the local currency and charge fees, resulting in differences between the amount displayed on Viator.com and Viator-affiliated websites, and the final amount charged to your bank account or credit or debit card statement. Please contact your bank or card company if you have any questions concerning any applicable conversion or fees. Please note for bookings made in Brazil, the tax IOF (Tax Upon Financial Operations, 6.38%) is not included in the final booking value and will be charged to the credit or debit card used to make the purchase.
Payment Processing
Under this agreement, the payment processing services for services purchased on this website are provided by Viator Limited on behalf of Viator Inc. or by Viator Inc. or by Viator Systems Pty, depending on the type of payment method used for the purchase of services.
In the event you choose to pay with a credit or debit card and the payment is processed via a European acquirer, these terms are an agreement between you and Viator Limited. For any other type of purchases, these terms are an agreement between you and Viator Inc. or Viator Systems Pty and services will be delivered by Viator Inc. or Viator Systems Pty directly.
Private Tour Guides
Viator provides customers with information regarding private tour guides in many destinations via Viator’s Get Your Guide program. Private tour guides are independent contractors and not agents or affiliates of Viator. Viator does not screen or conduct background checks on private tour guides. Your use of private tour guides is at your sole risk.
Customers are responsible for working directly with private tour guides on scheduling, meeting time/place, tour specifics and, where specifically noted, payment terms. Viator makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding private tour guides or their services.
Viator's 'Worry-Free Shore Excursion' guarantee does not apply to private tour guides.
Viator Member-Only Deals
Viator offers discounts and time-limited promotions, known as "Member Only Deals", to registered Viator users. You must have a Viator account in order to browse or book a Member Only Deal.
Member Only Deals are confirmed instantly upon booking and all sales are final.
If you cancel or amend a Member Only Deal, you will be charged a 100% cancellation fee.
Viator Vouchers
You will receive a personalized Viator voucher ("Voucher") for each tour, event or service booked. In order to access and print your Viator Voucher(s), you will be provided access to a secure webpage hosted by Viator that contains a link to your Viator Voucher(s).
You must provide the original, authentic Viator Voucher to the appropriate service provider in order to redeem your tour, ticket, or package. Your reservation cannot be honored or redeemed without presenting a valid Viator Voucher.
For security purposes, when redeeming your Viator Voucher you must present a valid Photo ID and sign the Viator Voucher. This is for identification purposes and helps us to prevent fraud.
In some cases Viator also requires that you present the credit or debit card used to purchase your tour or ticket at the time of redemption. This generally applies only to attraction and show tickets. This helps us to prevent credit-card misuse. You will be advised at checkout whether or not you must present the credit or debit card used for booking. In some cases Viator will waive this requirement, generally to facilitate gift purchases. However this requirement can only be waived by contacting Viator's Customer Care team once your booking has been confirmed, and any changes or amendments will be made at Viator's sole discretion.
If you make a purchase using a Viator gift certificate ("Gift Certificate"), Viator requires that you present the Gift Certificate used to purchase your tour, ticket or package at the time of redemption.
Please note that your Viator Voucher(s) can be confiscated - and immediately canceled without refund - if your signature and/or name do not match those shown on either your credit or debit card or Gift Certificate.
Viator Gift Certificates
Viator Gift Certificates may be obtained only at the Viator.com website. All Gift Certificate sales are final. Gift Certificates are not refundable. Viator is not responsible for stolen or lost Gift Certificates.
Viator Gift Certificates can only be redeemed on the Viator.com website. Viator Gift Certificates are redeemable against any Product offered on the Viator.com site. Viator Gift Certificates are not redeemable for cash. Viator reserves the right to cancel Gift Certificates obtained fraudulently.
Viator Gift Certificates are valid for two (2) years from the date of initial purchase, or as required by local law. Expiry date does not apply in California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Washington or other jurisdictions where prohibited by law.
Viator Gift Certificates remain valid until the entire value has been utilized or the expiry date has passed, subject to relevant local laws.
If the value of the items you book is greater than your Gift Certificate, you can pay the balance using an acceptable credit or debit card. If the value is less than your Gift Certificate, we'll store the balance in our database for you to use on another occasion. Note that your Gift Certificate, including any unused balance, expires two years after the date of issue, or as required by local law.
Passports, Visas & Insurance
When you book international reservations with third-party suppliers using this Website, you are responsible for ensuring that you meet all foreign entry requirements and that your travel documents, including passports and visas, are in order.
For passport and visa requirements, please consult the relevant embassy or consulate for information. Because requirements may change at any time, be sure to check for up-to-date information before booking and departure. Viator accepts no liability for travelers who are refused entry onto a flight or into any country because of the traveler’s failure to carry the travel documents required by any airline, authority, or country, including countries the traveler may just be passing through en route to his or her destination.
As visa and health requirements are subject to change without notice, we recommend that you verify health and visa requirements with the appropriate consulate prior to departure. It is also your responsibility to consult your physician for current recommendations on inoculations before you travel internationally, and to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements and follow all medical guidance related to your trip.
We strongly recommend that you purchase a comprehensive travel insurance policy prior to departure to protect your Product purchase. If you cancel your trip or significantly alter travel dates, your travel insurance policy may reimburse the cost of cancellation fees and related expenses. Please review your travel insurance policy carefully for related terms and conditions.
Although most travel, including travel to international destinations, is completed without incident, travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. Viator urges passengers to investigate and review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by the United States Government and destination country governments prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular international destinations can be found at www.state.gov, www.tsa.gov, www.dot.gov, www.faa.gov, www.cdc.gov, www.treas.gov/ofac and www.customs.gov.
