Will cancel at the last minute

We booked this tour months in advance of our June trip to Rome (Booking reference: #1383568747). As we arrived in Rome for our vacation we were notified through Viator that our tour was reschedule for a week later. As we would not be in Rome at that time, I contacted Viator and let them know we cannot reschedule. They contacted the vendor: Viando tours, and they promptly canceled our tour. They canceled our tour during high travel season a day before the tour!

Great Experience..Tour Guide Knowledgeable not boring

Great tour of the Vatican and Sistine chapel, with museums! It was fulfilling to actually visit first handed all of these monuments that you see on television and hear about. This tour was educational and eye-opening. Our tour guide was awesome. She was so well versed in the areas and made it interesting. I also enjoyed how she stayed on track and never went on a tangent as our guide for the Colliseum tour - that guy was arrogant, long-winded and flat out annoyed. He lost 18 of the 19 people in the group, we all asked him to tell us about what we're seeing but he went about it in his own way and we all walked away happy the tour was over. So it was refreshing on this tour to get the guide we had and to have her make the tour pleasant was refreshing. I would recommend Viator and this tour guide. Sabrina Long Beach, CA - USA

Visit to the Vatican Museum

The Vatican Museum is a museum very rich in wonderful works of art, paintings and sculptures! However, I felt that the guide lacked willingness to seek a solution when my son lost his entrance ticket. I suggest that to avoid this type of problem, the company Checkand Go Tours keeps the entrance tickets for the tours in the guide's possession.

Dear valued guest, Agradecemos seu comentário e sentimos pelo ocorrido. Antes do tour, entregamos os ingressos com a orientação de que todos são responsáveis pelos seus próprios bilhetes, inclusive os pais por seus filhos. Infelizmente, em casos de perda, nossas opções são limitadas pelas regras do Museu. Agradecemos a compreensão e sua sugestão.
