Viator asked us to come at 11.30AM when the tour was only for 12.30 PM. Also the duomo tour was only for 30 minutes
Trying to find the meeting place was horrible. Also they had the wrong meeting time for us so we had to wait for the next tour which was an hour later
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that you had difficulties finding the meeting point and that there was confusion regarding your tour time. We understand how frustrating it can be to start your experience this way and then have to wait an additional hour for the next available tour. While our customer service team did their best to assist and ensure that you were able to join a later departure, we recognize that this did not provide the smooth experience you expected and deserved. Your comments are valuable to us, and we will review both our meeting point instructions and communication procedures to help prevent similar issues in the future. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate you taking the time to bring this to our attention. Many thanks, Anastasia
We had a woman named Albina. She was an excellent guide the museum across the street is terrific talks a lot about history and if you work in the medical field, you’ll find it amazing
Good morning, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. It is a pleasure to know that Albina was a real added value to your experience, and we hope to welcome you back again to offer you new and equally enjoyable experiences. See you soon, VoxCity
Informative tour and knowledgeable Italian guide. Glad to know more about all the treasures inside the Duomo which I likely would have missed without a guide. Just wish that the meeting location had been updated in the booking info map and details. We almost missed the tour because the meeting location had changed and flag was not easy to see. Thank goodness a guide from another tour group knew where we should go!

We had a horrible experience! We paid for three tickets to the Dumo tour and even though I had the paper copies of all three tickets they would only let in two of us. They told me my husband would join my daughter and I then refused his entry. It was mass confusion at the meeting point and all associates were clearly confused and stressed.

Tour company canceled at the last minute. We booked same day but they showed availability and confirmed only to cancel several hours later which left us with no other options.

Was disappointed that I didn't get a tour with Dome access as this was a floor tour. Also we tried to get into the tower and it was difficult. Not very clear details on what it included so get a more full package than this one.

Interesting historical tour of the Duomo. Guided by a lovely knowledgeable lady. It lasted about 40 minutes and we then had a wonder around by ourselves
