We booked this originally as a 2.5 hour tour, but due to an error with Viator or the tour guide (I'm still unclear), our tickets said one day and the tour guide had a different day in their system. Viator and the tour worked together to pivot, and we ended up spending about an hour getting the tickets and being able to have about a 30 minute tour of just the Arena part of the Colosseum (not the main center area), and then the rest of the sites on our own. It was not clear to us until we met with our final guide that we were unable to see the Colosseum (just the very small lower passage to the arena platform). The text messages from the tour guide and the various people who escorted us through the ticket buying process, all answered my questions saying that this was an extra and not a substitute. After a very quick tour, our knowledgeable guide gave us a few great tips of where to eat, fill up with water, etc. ( I wished we had thought to ask about entering the Roman Forum, because it was tricky to find in the heat). Overall, the tour group was able to get us tickets, and we had a wonderful day exploring the Roman Forum afterwards with Rick Steve's free audio tour downloaded on our phones. Viator gave us a refund for the difference in price, and ultimately we had a lovely day. Had this been my first time to Rome, and I didn't actually get to explore the Colosseum, I would have been very disappointed. Overall, a day I'm grateful to have experienced.
Dear customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We're pleased that, despite the unexpected situation, you were able to enjoy your day exploring the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill, and that our team worked together with Viator to find a solution as quickly as possible. We would like to clarify that the amendment to your booking was not communicated to us by Viator before your arrival. Had we received this information in advance, we would have contacted you immediately and offered the appropriate alternatives or a full explanation before the tour. We completely understand how the lack of clear communication created confusion, and we're sorry for the inconvenience this caused. We're happy to hear you appreciated your guide's knowledge and local recommendations, and that Viator processed the partial refund. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on a future Rome guided tour so we can provide the complete Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill experience you originally expected.
