1.00Tour guide did not show up, no prior communication. Didn’t answer calls from us or Viator. Very disappointed. Viator said they couldn’t do anything as they were only a facilitator. Extremely poor service

2.00Loved Rome, loved the people... A little disappointed with the tour we booked for me and my Wife. We were given instructions via Watts App to were to meet, times etc. Prior to this we were asked to download the App, which had the maps etc of the locations and points of interest. When we got to the start location to meet up with the so called tourist guide we were just told to stand in the queue and go through security. When in the Roman Forum to start, the place is massive and you ARE NOT given enough time to complete plus to get around Palatine Hill, which we didn't see, gutted!. The next was the Collesium, this is a timed schedule after the Forum and the Hill, of which they reckon it can be done in 2.5 hours? This wasn't cheap either.... So if you are visiting, check it out separately so that you spend your time listening to the history and taking in the views with missing anything.
Buy the express ticket but make the walk on your own

2.00It is a destination I recommend to know, however the tour we did not like. The positive part is that they are punctual and you have "no lines" entry The negative is that there are a lot of people (starting off-season). It seems that all the guides explain in full sun on the map of the Sistine chapel, for about AN HOUR, what to see in the chapel, etc. I recommend buying express admission but personally study the Sistine chapel and enjoy time inside the Vatican museums, without wasting time with a guide.

1.00I can't have my say on the experience because 4 hours before I was cancelled and I try to get my money back and to this day it's impossible

4.00Good value for money. Guide was very knowledgeable of sculpture, Greek and Roman art and tapestry. Sistine chapel is a must see. We were on our own in St. Peter’s and a guide would be nice. Check the tour information carefully.

4.00Overall a fairly okay tour. The guide talked way too much and we stood outside in the cold for almost an hour while she flipped through a picture book. It was so crowded that you needed to keep moving.

4.00Hi ! My tour was 12/31 at 8:45. It was great experience but St. Peter’s basilica was closed. Can I get some refund. Thanks for advance
Bad service and incomplete

1.00It was terrible. The hiring was in Portuguese. They moved to English. The meeting point far away from the place. You didn't have access to the fast line. Service was not complete. There was no access to the Basilica and much less the guide. We were barred at the entrance of the basilica and the guide failed. She apologized and left.
Bad experience

1.00Very bad experience. First we had to wait for the guide who was late. Then without being told we are not going to visit the Basilica because that morning it was closed. We ask the whole group to show us that afternoon or the next day and they don't even bother to answer. I put a claim on Viator and they washed their hands.
