I booked a Colosseum, Forum & Palatine Hill with Audio Guide Tour through Get Your Guide. I booked 6 weeks in advance, and I received a notification that my booking was cancelled TWO days before my activity as they had overbooked… so they’re selling tickets hoping to be able to get them. I was issued a full refund, but it is not worth the stress of having to try and find last minute tickets whilst already on holiday. The company did not reply when I contacted them through Get Your Guide - SCAM
Absolutely unprofessional; tickets booked 5 months in advance were simply canceled 2 days before departure due to overbooking, without offering any alternative solutions beforehand. Why book months in advance? Stay away from this provider/organizer.
The tour was fantastic, very informative and the guide was knowledgeable and approachable. The attractions were incredible to see and fascinating.
