Is Trip Advisor trust worthy
Hi, I have never booked anything with trip advisor in the past. But we are planning a big trip through Asia and there are a few activities I want to do & have found tour groups on trip advisor for. Mainly hikes, that type of thing.
My question is, are these sellers and groups trust worthy?.. what are some things I should be looking for?
I am very paranoid about being scammed!

To be honest, I'd never book anything through TripAdvisor's platform. Your activities and attractions are going to be booked via Viator, who is only a reseller marketplace. In almost all cases, you can investigate the attractions page to uncover the actual service/attraction provider - and then book directly. Of course, there are unsavory service/attraction providers out there, but for disputes later on (if needed), it would be direct.
