Very informative tour. A lot of walking but it was all worth it. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable. Great experience!
Both tours were amazing and historical. Our guides where very knowledgeable and experienced. Lots of steps in the collesium and Vatican. By the end of the day my back was hurting but well worth it. Our Vatican tour was in the afternoon and we were blessed enough to be there for the 5:30pm mass. It was unbelievable.
This tour operator was a total scammer. They texted me a day before the trip saying there wasn't enough interest and told me to cancel the trip on Viator so I could get my money back. I went to Viator and the trip was non-refundable. I texted them back to tell them I can't cancel and they ghosted me completely and never responded back to me. Then I kept getting automated messages about the trip happening. No one showed up and I'm out $350 bucks. They were also still advertising the trip on Viator for the same time slots they told me it was cancelled. Complete scam. I will never book another trip through Viator if they aren't going to vet their tour companies better. I had to scramble to get tours for the ones they scammed me on and never saw the Vatican because it then sold out!
We had booked this tour months before our tour date and it was cancelled two days before the tour. It made it extremely difficult to find another tour and because of this we missed seeing the Colosseum and the Roman Ruins. I am not very happy.
The Viator site gave us a meeting spot 30 minutes from where the guide wanted to meet. We were told that morning. Seeing the basilica was supposed to be included in the tour but we were not brought to the basilica and did not see it. We were supposed to have a guided tour of the Collisseum. They messaged us and told us that this part had to be cancelled. We have still not received our refund as they promised. I will be disputing the charges. Very unhappy. Terrible experience
The tour was split into two. The morning with the Vatican which was great our tour guide was excellent. However, the afternoon portion of our tour was cancelled last minute and ruined our whole day after. We had to scramble to try and find tickets to the colosseum and it was super stressful. Very unprofessional.
Horrendous rip off £268 paid 2 months in advance. Messaged on WhatsApp at 2pm the day before the tour to say cancelled due to a lack of tickets for attractions (plenty available online) Messaged back to ask about refund and was instantly blocked. Manage booking and contact customer service nonexistent on the app Don't waste your time or money booking via this service My credit card provide is going to recover the money on my behalf, they said this isn't the first time they have had to recover money from this company
It would have been great, but they canceled on me leaving me very little time to find an alternative. We were very disappointed.
The tours were amazing but too long of a day for us and very hot! But so interesting! We enjoyed it very much! Thanks to our wonderful guides
We did the combo tour with the Vatican in the morning and the colosseum and forum in the afternoon. Both of our tour guides were amazing and incredibly knowledgeable. Our morning tour guide was an actual restoration expert, and both were just amazing. Skip the line is the only way to go in my opinion. This tour was more reasonably priced than others and did not disappoint! 100% recommend it!
