Pre-reserved trains and a small minibus day trip from London to Devil’s Dyke, Beachy Head, and Seven Sisters cliff views.

“I had a great time. Smai (aka "Ish") greeted us at the London Bridge station and escorted us on the train to Brighton. He had lovely manners. Anton met us in Brighton and guided and drove. He was a great driver and amiable person. We visited several gorgeous sites - Beachhead, Seven Sisters, etc - some very crowded, some practically remote. A stunning change of scenery to get away from London on a hot day.”

Reserved Eurostar seats plus a hop-on hop-off bus in Paris. Flexible day for Eiffel, Louvre, Notre-Dame, and more.

“Wish we knew that we could have bought the hop on and hop off at the same time as we bought this. We were told when we got to the station that we can purchase the hop on hop off from the tour guide in France, but when we got to France the tour guide was rude and told us to purchase the bus ticket, but did not tell us where. WE finally found it and when we got to the bus he is coming with his group and actually told us to stop and wait for his group to go in first, even though we were there first. After…”

Keep your money don’t waste it on this tour. I have used Viator for 5 years, called customer service, received text back from Harold Jay, customer service, who refused any type of compensation for another trip or credit. I will never again refer anyone to Viator.”

Rail from London to Edinburgh and the Highlands, with Castle entry, 24-hour hop-on bus, and a guided Loch Ness day plus hotel and breakfasts.

“My husband and I took this quick trip in December. We were not given the tour vouchers and did not have our accommodation details until the morning of the tour. However, we trusted Viator since we have joined other tours before in various cities. The tour was well-organised from London Kings Cross Station to Edinburgh and Loch Ness. The first class coach was worth the extra, since it was a very early trip to Edinburgh and late return to London. We were pleasantly surprised that the quoted B and B was Hilton hotel in a central location in Edinburgh. The hotel was a short walk to Waverley Station, Christmas Markets…”
