“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.

“Poor experience. Driver was an hour early for puck up without prior notification. We realised during the trip that he already had another return fare. Was continually texting during the drive which caused him to veer across the road- unsafe. To top it off we were dropped off at the arrivals pick up point and we had to fend for ourselves from there. The first time in many similar drop off's this has happened. Will use a taxi in future.”
