Don’t trust the “system”- always verify reservations with the actual company- Viator doesn’t follow through

1.00After receiving multiple emails confirming our reservation and also receiving tickets for our tour, the tour operator said they did not have us on their reservation list. We arrived with valid tickets for the tour on the appropriate day and time. We were turned away. We scheduled the tour with Intrepid Urban Adventures via Viator. After a lengthy discussion with Viator, they referred me to one email sent 7 days after the confirmation to notify me of “unexpected operational constraints” which made them “unable to honor our booking. I did not see the email, and no further emails or attempts to contact me regarding the cancellation were made. I did however receive at least 9 emails reminding me of our reservation in addition to notification alerts up to the time of our tour. With all of the reminders and congratulations on our DC Tour, I had no reason to doubt the reservation validity. Viator, now points out that they sent me an e-mail (one) and I didn’t reply. This is very poor customer care. I will definitely selection a different company for reservations in the future. They cannot explain why I was issued tickets and continued to receive confirmation/reminder emails for 6 days after the email (which I didn’t see) letting me know I couldn’t be accommodated and should reply. I am sure the tour is fine, but this reservation company is not.
Dr. Ed is great

1.00My night time electric cart tour that i booked a month on advance was cancelled because it was overbooked but i was never sent an email. I went to the meeting spot on March 31st at 7:45pm and was told it had been cancelled a week before. Yet on Monday March 30th I received an email confirming my upcoming tour and my credit card was charged.

5.00Do it!!!! I was with someone who had never been to DC before and this was the perfect way for them to get in all of the major monuments. Also, even if you’ve seen them before, seeing them at night is completely different and so worth it in addition to the knowledgeable guide who will give you fun and interesting facts throughout the tour. We had Joel, and he was fantastic. I cannot say enough good things. Highly recommend!!!
