Very friendly and helpful staff. My friend and I had a great tour of Lake Tahoe and we loved it. You don’t realize how big or beautiful it is until you see it from the air.

Viator not responsible

Using Viator messed me up big time !!! I am a big guy about 285 lbs. The Viator website asked my weight and I was honest. At No Time did Viator alert me to the 250 lb weight limit of the helicopter operator. I even over stated the weight of my partner. Imagine my embarrassment when I had to step on the scale and told I couldn't go on the helicopter. So then my girlfriend, who is terrified of heights, had to decide whether to go alone or just skip it. The actual helicopter operator said this is a regular occurrence with Viator and they know all about the weight limit and don't inform customers like me. At the end, my G.F. went and had fun but I won't use Viator again.
