How do I book a tour?+
Pick a tour in the tours and prices table, choose the date and number of travellers and book it on Viator. You receive a confirmation and a mobile ticket by email right away.
How do I pay for a tour?+
By card on Viator when you book. Many tours also offer "Reserve now, pay later": you lock in your spot and are charged closer to the date. The total price is shown before you confirm — there is nothing to pay the guide on the day unless the tour page says otherwise.
Can I cancel a tour?+
Most tours on Viator can be cancelled for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. The exact policy is shown on each tour page before you book.
Where is the meeting point?+
It is listed on your ticket and on the tour page; some tours include hotel pickup instead. You can also message the operator through Viator if anything is unclear.
Do I need to print my booking?+
No. Showing the mobile ticket on your phone is enough.
What if I am late or cannot make it?+
Contact the operator as soon as possible — their details are on your ticket. If you do not show up and have not cancelled in time, the payment is usually non-refundable.
Is the tour guaranteed to run?+
Most tours are confirmed instantly. Some need a minimum number of travellers or depend on the weather (boat trips, mountain routes); if a tour is cancelled by the operator, you are offered another date or a full refund.
What should I bring?+
Weather-appropriate clothes, comfortable shoes, water and sunscreen in summer. Bring your passport on tours that cross a border, and some cash for entrance fees not included in the price.
