No apology, that’s not on.

What I find strange is that you now eligible for a refund but no one apologised for letting my family wait for two hours and had to pay double the price the original agreed price. Don’t use these guys they will let you down.

VIP TAXI in Istanbul, Turkey is THE BEST service, hands down!

My wife and I were just in Istanbul, Turkey for a wonderful vacation! We disembarked from a Viking Ocean Cruise in Istanbul and needed a large Taxi to get to our hotel. When I used my Uber app, a large VIP Taxi appeared in minutes. We really lucked out! Burak, our driver [Tel: +90 (532) 627 56 24] was courteous, spoke English--and really knew this city. There were 4 passengers and 4 large pieces of luggage. Burak installed his contact info on my iPhone in WhatsApp so I could contact him when we needed his Taxi! He responded to me in minutes! We went on a Cruise of the Bosphorus, went to specific restaurants...etc. using his service every time. When he took us to the Airport for our flight back to the USA, he got us to the right Terminal with plenty of time to spare. I give him 5 Stars for GREAT service!

Dissapointed experience

We booked an airport transfer to our hotel in Turkey through Viator, but the experience was very disappointing. I initially sent a message to the provider to ask for the meeting point, but received no response. I tried to contact him again upon our arrival, still with no reply. At 1 am, after we had already exited the airport, he finally responded, demanding an additional 30 euros, threatening to cancel the transfer if we did not pay. When I spoke with him, I made it clear that I work in a travel agency and am familiar with the procedure: he should have confirmed the booking in advance or canceled it if it was an issue for him, instead of putting us in such a situation at the last minute. His behavior was completely unprofessional. We felt scammed and refused to pay the extra amount. In the end, we had to take a taxi to reach our hotel. I strongly advise against using this service due to its lack of professionalism and transparency.

Frustrated

Driver went to wrong airport. I payed round trip but have no confirmation. Had to make other arrangements and pay again

Response from the operator: Hello dear passanger, I confirm that a new vehicle picks you up from your airport without waiting and this product is a one-way service. I'm sorry, but we think we've stated enough in the comments.
