Sad and Disappointed

So this review is a story of caution. The location of the cruise was changed by the local provider. CAUTION: Read carefully and follow the instructions to a correct cruise departure site. I did not do this and paid the price. Ordinarily, I would just say my mistake and move on with it. However, they were RUDE and extremely non helpful in getting me to the new location. It was essentially to bad. They they just stopped communicating. So for that I would say, do ANY OTHER TOUR but with them. We all make mistakes. I don't need to have rude customer service in addition.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for any frustration caused during your experience. We would like to clarify that the updated departure location was communicated in advance through the ticket and booking information provided before the activity date. As the cruise operator occasionally changes the departure point due to operational requirements, guests are requested to carefully review the latest instructions included with their tickets before traveling. We understand that missing the departure location can be disappointing, and we regret that you felt unsupported during the situation. Our intention is always to assist guests whenever possible. However, once the cruise departure time has passed, options become extremely limited due to the operator's policies and scheduling requirements. We genuinely appreciate your feedback regarding the communication experience and will share it with the local team to help improve future guest support. Thank you for your comments, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

Waste of money

Awful tour. Little to see. Almost no commentary. No-one told me the Danube Canal is not the Danube River. And it was barely an hour. Hugely disappointing

Operator response

We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. The cruise route and duration are described in the tour details, and the journey operates along the Danube Canal, which offers a different perspective of the city. Commentary availability may vary depending on the operating schedule and vessel. We appreciate your feedback and regret that the experience was disappointing for you. Your comments will be shared with the operating team to help improve future guest experiences.

Don’t book

My experience was HORRIBLE. The Viator designated embarkation location was incorrect. It cost 30 euros round trip to travel to that location - where there was no boat. AND now Viator won't pay a refund when the mistake was theirs. I will never book with Viator again, and I advise you not to either

Operator response

We are really sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. However, we would like to clarify that the exact embarkation location was properly mentioned in the booking details, and valid e-tickets with the correct Google Map location were also shared before the activity date. We always recommend guests carefully check the final ticket information and map directions provided with the booking, as these contain the confirmed boarding location details. The activity was operating normally from the correct departure point on the scheduled date. We sincerely regret any confusion or inconvenience caused during your travel to the meeting point. Your feedback is important to us, and we truly appreciate your comments as we continue working to improve the customer experience. Thank you for your understanding.

It’s a boat ride, not a sightseeing tour.

The address for meeting point is not listed on experience and I reached out twice to get it. (It’s listed on downloaded ticket but that took a while to get it.) Also, the tour goes by residential and unidentified areas with the guide only announcing one visible tower. The “art” mentioned is graffiti as far as I can tell which is interesting but not what I was hoping to see. If you want to take a boat ride on a canal and enjoy the weather or people watching along the banks of the canal, may be your cup of tea. I do not think the value of the experience is warranted by the cost

Operator response

Dear Sir Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the meeting point details and Google Map location were shared together with the valid e-ticket before the activity date. We understand that downloading the ticket may have taken some time, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused during this process. Regarding the tour itself, the experience is designed mainly as a relaxing canal boat ride focused on sightseeing, atmosphere, local surroundings, and enjoying the city views from the water. The artwork and graffiti displayed along certain sections of the canal are part of the local urban culture and may vary from guest expectations. We truly appreciate your honest comments as they help us improve our service and better describe the experience for future travelers. Thank you once again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you again for another experience in the future.

Not what we expected.

I thought the cruise was on the actual Danube River but it was just the channel. The biggest problem was TripAdvisor did not send the address with the tickets until after I had to call three times to talk to someone in UAE who I could not understand. Not the best experience but we made the best of it.

Operator response

We also apologize for the inconvenience caused while receiving the address and for the communication difficulties you experienced.
