Had his cell from confirmatory text so called him twice with no answer; called Viator in US who then arranged for transfer to hotel. Not a good way to start a vacation.”

“Tour contained very little information about Brussels. Some of the information was poorly translated and did not make sense. The map was horrible. The place names given for the locations were not easily found on Google maps so it was difficult to navigate to the locations. The questions themselves were often wholly unrelated to the location. For example, you had to navigate to a square and then listen to a 20 sec clip of a song and name the person who sang the song. Or identify photos that were NOT taken at that location. How is that interesting? Again we wanted to learn more about the places and history of…”

It took me a significant effort to find out why. The chat informed me it was cancelled and refunded because of “lack of availability”, leaving me looking for alternative solutions in the middle of the busiest holiday season in years. I haven’t even been offered an apology.”

Private, air conditioned minivan transfer between Brussels Zaventem and Brussels city, with on board Wi-Fi, name sign pickup, and group pricing up to 8.

“The driver was nice and waiters a hour while we did luggage claims but Nothing about the van was luxury. The photo they advertised isn’t the van that picked us up. I was very specific in saying it’s 3 adults and 6 large suitcases. Unfortunately our bags were delayed so we didn’t have our bags if we did the bags wouldn’t have fit. We barely fit with the 3 of us and the driver in the car.”
