“This was the worst airport pick-up experience that we have ever had. The driver for Viator's operator, Airport Transfers, was one hour late in arriving at the London Heathrow Airport Terminal, had difficulty finding his car in the parking lot after finally meeting us, exhibited road rage with another driver during our trip from the airport to our hotel and was making a personal phone call while driving.

We called Viator's operator four times before the driver finally arrived. During the initial call, we…”

I was called and was told that the driver would be there in about 30 minutes, which I said was perfectly fine because I could sit at a restaurant facing the street where the taxi pick up line is. 20 minutes later the driver calls me and tells me he is 15 minutes away. Great no problem. Five minutes later, he calls me and tells me he is outside and can only wait 15 minutes to which I let him know that is OK because I…”

“I have got to my destination, no problem. But I booked an executive transfer. I was promised a Mercedes E-class/BMW 5-series. Well, this promise was not kept, it was a BMW 3-series station wagon which still wouldn’t be a big let down but my driver looked like he picked us up coming from the gym, sneakers, gym shorts and a loose white t-shirt. So I rate this experience average, i was picked up on time and got to my place. That counts but I paid more for executive service what I haven’t received. If you want an executive car/service perhaps there are better options.”
