Bad experience, worse tour guide

1.00Truly a disappointing tour. I am never one to complain, let alone write reviews about it, but those looking to spend their time and money on this tour should be warned. We originally had our tour scheduled at 8:45am to see the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica. However, last minute, they switched the tour to 11:45am. We arrived and the group organizer couldn’t locate the tour guide. The tour guide (Chiara) came late so we didn’t start until around 12. She introduced herself and said “if you get lost, my name is Chiara.” Cool. She continuously walked ahead of the group, talking even though we couldn’t hear her. Once we got to the Vatican, we got our headphones to hear her better. She was monotone, seemed disinterested, rushed us through most of the interesting parts of the museum, and dwelled on very unimportant details. She spoke mostly broken English and it seemed like this tour company had to find someone last minute. Throughout the entire tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel - two of the most historic places to visit on earth - I learned nothing. The entire group I was with (approx 17 people) all were talking the entire tour about how terrible our guide was. Once we finished the Sistine Chapel, we all assumed we were going to the Basilica (since, you know, we each paid over $100+ for tickets to this tour) but were told that it closed to the public after 1pm today so we couldn’t go. That’s WHY we booked the 8:45am tour so we would be able to go see all three? Anyway, someone at Your Way Tours, please fix this for future tours. I think you will be getting a few negative reviews from today and many of us are hoping to get a partial refund for not being able to see the Basilica due to the tour being delayed 3 hours.

2.00We paid for a tour that included a visit to St Peter’s Bascillica on the £60 x 2 tickets. The Bascillica tour was dropped by the operator on the day and the guide left the group to join the public queue that was a thousand people deep. We ended up paying another 28 euros x 2 to another company to get us in. We were missold and misled and we won’t be recommending the tour company concerned. Can Viator compensate us for the tour company’s mistakes?
Good but not organised
