Late Pickup had to reschedule

Tour operator called me while I was outside awaiting pickup and told me the driver will be there in 30 minutes. So the driver will be 30 minutes late? 🤨 the excuse was traffic. That’s not MY problem is it ? The driver should have left earlier. I called Viator to request a refund, but instead we decided to reschedule for the next day. Tour was ok no complaints. I would not use this tour operator again because they don’t value my time. A few minutes late is understandable, 30 minutes late is unsatisfactory.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Your time is valuable, and we deeply regret that this caused frustration and disrupted your schedule. We are glad that we were able to reschedule your Giraffe Centre visit for the following day and that the tour itself went well without further issues. However, we take your comments seriously and are addressing this with our dispatch team to ensure more accurate arrival windows and better punctuality moving forward.

Great tour

We had a great time visiting the giraffe centre and Kobe beads. Kelvin taught us a lot about giraffes and helped us feed them! This is a must do tour. Kelvin is a great guide and driver. He explained lots to us and answered all our questions, and took photos throughout. He is also very funny and made it a very enjoyable tour!

A memorable Experience for sure!

The tour was amazing! Kelvin was a very polite and knowledgeable guide. We spent enough time at each place to experience everything. The booking process was simple and they were always quick to reply to any queries. The guide was on time to pick me up and even told me stories about other popular sights in nairobi and the animals we can see around
