A Complete Disaster!

Kathleen_M, Jul 2022

I would not call this tour memorable! We basically paid $308.44 to be picked up at the hotel, taken to the Christian Catacombs, which was a 45 minute tour and driven back to our hotel. The tour it’s self cost $10.00 each, which Viator paid. On my contract paper it read, private tour. Well, there were 40 people in our tour. At least, our driver, waited for us and returned us to our hotel. He was great! The other part of the tour was supposed to be dropping us off at Saint Peter’s Basilica for free time and us finding our own way back to our hotel. That to me is NOT a private tour! The two previous days we took a Viator Tour and both were fabulous. This was a complete disaster! It might have been worth $100.00 but NOT $300!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Kathleen, we are sorry to hear that You didn't like the tour, but I would like to ask You if You read what are the tour details at all,becouse all the informations are actually there,including the fact that inside the Catacmobs You would join the group tour of 30 (not 40 pax).Second thing,all expencies including Your tickets are payd by us,not Viator and only the driver cost is 200$.And finally, the tour was supose to end in San Peter in Chains, the church conected with the itierary of the tour,not St.Peters Basilica and the fact that driver took You back in the hotel is the service that was included in the price.We are really sorry,but next time check the service that You are booking. Best regards! Rosa
