Tour guide walking so fast couldn’t see much or take pictures or enjoy the beautiful artwork.The Tour guide lost one of our people in the group because he was walking so fast

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are very sorry to hear that the pace of the tour affected your ability to enjoy the artwork and take photos. Your experience is important to us, and this is certainly not the standard we aim to provide. We are also concerned to hear that someone in the group was left behind due to the fast pace. Our guides are trained to keep the group together and ensure that everyone has the chance to enjoy the visit comfortably, and we will address this issue with the guide involved. If you have any additional comments or suggestions, or if you plan to book any other tours in Rome, please feel free to contact us at tous@toursofrome.info . Your feedback helps us improve our services. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Incredible art, prepare for overcrowded

It's wonderful to skip the long lines, but be prepared for crowds. It appears the museum now greatly oversells tickets and packs people in. This is not the best way to see and experience the art. Our tour guide was knowledgeable. She moved at a fairly rapid pace. If you want more time to see the art (and there is a mind-boggling amount), I recommend buying a skip-the-line ticket and seeing the art at your own pace.

Awful experience, buyer beware

We arrived on time, by 315. Tour had left already. No contact with us until too late and awful customer service. Customer service won’t refund our money since the tour occurred. Just not with us. Will never use Viator again.
