VIATOR FRAUDSTERS
vmarzo25, Jan 2025
VIATOR, SCAMMERS grating CRIME. Paid excursion to Auschwitz for day 31-12 with hotel pick-up at 9 a.m. and transfer with Spanish-speaking guide, Hours before the connected departure: departure at 5.30 h and pick-up at 2 km from the hotel. (We missed the field trip.) We try to rehire it on the 31st and advertise excursion for the 1st of January 2025 with pickup at 3.30 pm. Knowing that day 1 is closed and the last access time is 3.15 pm and we were more than one transfer away. SAFE SCAM

Hi vmarzo25, Sadly, this comment does not belong here. We have never offered tours to Auschwitz. We’re sorry to hear that you fell victim to a scam, but we encourage you to verify the operator of your tour so that future customers are properly informed. We regret that this comment was posted here, as it does not reflect our services. Kind regards, - Alice
Giverny and Versailles
484econ, Oct 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our full day tour of Giverny and Versailles. Santiago was an excellent tour guide who enabled us to see some beautiful areas, especially around Versailles, that we would not have been able to see on our own.

Hello 484econ, We are grateful for your kind review :) Best regards, - Alice

Santiago was an amazing guide. His timing was perfect. He gave us a ton of info, and plenty of time to explore. We highly recommend him.
Best day trip outside Paris - reliable and informative
Bonnie H, Oct 2024
Our guide HP was fantastic. He was punctual to pick us up and went beyond to make sure we experienced everything. He gave us great options to also see Monet’s resting place in an historical church, and he gave us wonderful lunch options at Versailles. We chose the local marche that had so many fresh delicious options outdoors. The actual sites were so fantastic and he gave great overview of the historical relevance. We were able to easily visit both Monet garden and Versailles in one day, and get back early enough to Paris for dinner reservations. I highly recommend Blue Fox and HP as a guide.

Hello H, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We are glad that you are satisfied with the organisation and itinerary of our tour. Indeed, the itinerary is full of attractions and may seem quite intense, but if you are a true fan of art you will be satisfied. Join us again! Kind regards, - Alice
