EllieinNJ Posted April 3 #1 Share Posted April 3 If I book a Mexican bus tour through Viator, do they charge a foreign transaction fee on your credit card if that card does not have the foreign transaction exemption? I called them but got someone whose accent was hard to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike45LC Posted April 3 #2 Share Posted April 3 I think my foreign excursions booked through Viator were all charged in US dollars in the U.S. Or any transaction fees were included in the prices I was quoted and charged. This issue never came up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you use a credit card when you travel that doesn't have one-- they are plentiful and easy to get. If you use a credit card that doesn't waive them you will always run the risk of getting hit with them. Also I do agree with what others have said here-- Viator is just a third party aggregator. You can often book the same things direct for less with a little bit of research and you often get much better treatment, espectially customer service if things need to be changed, from the vendors when you book direct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
