5.00Just us & 4 other couples made it easy to follow our guide & hear his explanations. (Had an issue with some headsets & found it easier to hear without them!)

5.00Great guided tour with a German guide. Very friendly and lots of information. Long walk and a lot of tourists, therefore a bit strenuous. The meeting place is a bit difficult to find with the masses.
Rich was fantastic. There...

5.00Rich was fantastic. There were 6 in my party plus others. All of us said the same thing, Rich had a ton of info about the history and building during that time. We received lots of great info plus Rich was caring and made frequent stops to be sure our group was all together. Best tour we’ve taken
Cancelled Last Minute

1.00Trip was cancelled last minute and when I tried to ask the operator questions to come up with an alternative plan they didn’t respond. I lost time at the colosseum and couldn’t see the arena floor since you have to book tickets at least one day in advance.
Viator not helpful. Do not recommend this tour.

2.00Tour was delayed 2.5 hours. Operator says not his fault. This caused a lot of stress and then the tour was rushed. $237USD via Viator is not good value for a small group tour. Paid Viator extra to ensure an early tour and they did not deliver and will not reimburse any of the cost or take responsibility for the problems this caused with my next tour because I was late. DO NOT USE VIATOR AT ANY COST. I NEVER WILL AGAIN. GREEDY EXPEDIA COMPANY. I should have known better.
