Disappointed and Frustrated – Not What Was Promised

1.00I booked three private tours through Viator/TripAdvisor to make sightseeing easier for my husband, who has health issues. Unfortunately, our experience was filled with poor communication, vague itineraries, and unmet expectations. First Tour: Rome Highlights by Golf Cart (Private Tour) The booking clearly stated that hotel pickup was included, yet we were told to meet at a separate location. After several frustrating calls—both to the U.S. and Italy customer service numbers, where I was hung up on—I had to email back and forth and finally send a screenshot showing the itinerary promised hotel pickup. Only then did they arrange for a driver. Second Tour: Val D’Orcia, Montepulciano, and Pienza We were told by the tour guide we’d only be visiting two of the three cities listed in the itinerary. This was misleading and disappointing, especially since we specifically chose the tour for all three stops. Third Tour: Missed Due to Miscommunication Despite the listing again stating hotel pickup, we were told to meet at a different location. The assistant couldn’t locate the driver, and we missed the tour entirely. The agent simply said, “Sorry, no refund, but you can reschedule.” Unfortunately, it was our last day in Rome—and honestly, I wouldn’t book with them again anyway. Viator’s tour descriptions are vague and their customer service is unreliable. I booked “private tours” to reduce stress, but the lack of clarity and follow-through made things worse. I don’t recommend using them if you expect reliability or clear communication.
Scenic, historical & adventurous! Fabulous day trip!

5.00The day trip was well worth it! Our guide Angela was extremely knowledgeable, informative, and covered all bases and more. The tour itself was fascinating, especially with the history aspects of Pompeii & how its folks lived; the drive along the Amalfi coast was stunningly scenic, winding, jaw dropping at times with the hairpin turns but was fun nonetheless, and Positano had so much to see, shop & eat. Angela paired well with driver Romel, who expertly navigated us there safely and promptly. Driving along the winding roads really gives you an appreciation for the skill of local drivers! It was a wonderful day trip, and thanks to Angela & Romel, we lived to tell the tale!!!
Great day trip with a small taste of the Amalfi coast

5.00Our tour was amazing and so informative. Antonino is so knowledgeable and shared lots of wonderful facts and information during our bus ride. We originally planned to rent a car and explore ourselves, but ultimately decided on doing the bus tour. we are glad we did! We met some great friends and were able to mingle instead of worrying about driving and navigating various locations. This is a great overall tour to give you a quick taste of Postiano and view of Amalfi coast while learning wonderful facts about Pompeii. Our guide for Pompeii was equally fantastic and brought humor which helped keep the tour interesting. We’d also like to thank the driver, Cheray, forgetting us there and back safely.
Day trip worth the trip!

5.00We had a fantastic day trip to Pompei, Positano, and the Amalfi Coast. Our guide, Kler, too such good care of us, and even arranged for a short unplanned visit to the Limoncello plant and store on the way home. She provided excellent info about Rome as well. Our driver, Cesare, did such a great job navigating the tight spaces while providing a smooth ride. It was the most beautiful sights we saw in Europe. Highly recommend!

5.00Marvelous experience. I had a tour guide name Claire who was very pleasant and was very attentive to our needs. The trip was able to cover several cool spots which would have taken a while to cover. Highly recommended for anyone who has a short time in italy.
