Terrible!

Very disappointing we booked weeks before our trip and our booking was confirmed then a week later it was cancelled. The tour company then contacted us and said the had space for us so we re-booked, then at 10.30pm the night before our trip we got a message saying it had again been cancelled. So we had to rush around the next morning to book a different trip to do on that day. Definitely would NOT recommend.
Ben our tour guide was great, really...

Please again be sure to find out.

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear you enjoyed your overall tour experience. Although many of our tour operators employ multi-lingual guides, this particular tour supplier unfortunately does not currently offer a Japanese-speaking tour guide. Additionally, it is always recommend that all valuables are secured prior to the adventure to ensure they are not damaged or lost. Our tour guides have dived down where you reported your camera was dropped into the river at no additional cost to you, but unfortunately they have not be able to locate your camera. We appreciate you booking with us and wish you Happy Travels for the future!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
