Horrible experience

Donica_C, Apr 2025

The person we needed to meet to verify our voucher NEVER showed up. We wandered around for 30 minutes and could not find the representative to exchange the voucher for our ticket. Missed the tour!!! Beyond disappointing and frustrating. Never again!!!!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Dear client the meeting point is very clear in the front of Lindt chocolate shope piazza del duomo 15R If you lost you could call the host and we tried to call you several times but you didn't answer Regards EU support team

Fantastic View of City!

Steven_P, Oct 2024

View of City was wonderful. Also, hike up was healthy! Steps were tight but there were a few windows which provided fresh air and light.

Very good tour with engaging guide

Jeffrey_A, Jun 2024

I made this reservation same-day and was glad they had a few available slots. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging, and she gave us the encouragement we needed to get up all those stairs!

Very disappointing

Jacque_S, Sep 2023

This tour was disappointing because of the tour guide. She was disorganized, seemed confused. She talked but not about the big picture. She had a lot of facts but none seemed relevant. I found it challenging to understand her English.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

We are very sorry for you but we promised that we tried very much to improve our service EU support Team

Duomo - yes!

Kenya_J, Aug 2023

Alex did an outstanding job explaining the exterior as well as the interior. She was engaging and real. I’d highly recommend this tour.

Average Tour to see the Cathedral last minute

Konrad_H, Jun 2023

Tour was Ok, just 35-40minutes but we got into the cathedral even though it was sold out for the next days!:-) tourguide could be a little more empathic and fun, she seemed nervous and had trouble with English but all in all: we got in! Would be worth 15-20€ and not 30€.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

dear ,clients we were in high season may thats why you wait alittle in the front of entrance we will always try to improve our guide and our service

Le doumo à Florence

Laureline_D, Aug 2023

Ça ne vaut pas le prix . l extérieur est beaucoup plus incroyable que l intérieur. Déçu d avoir mis ce prix là avec 2 adolescents cela a été long au final pour 75€.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

dear clients, we belive that you went to wrong entrance but its not our fault we are sorry about you

Nicht empfehlenswertes Unternehmen.

Anita_W, Jul 2022

Leider wurden wir am vereinbarten Treffpunkt/zur vereinbarten Zeit einfach kommentarlos - in der prallen Hitze - stehen gelassen, es kam kein Tourguide! Ebenso wenig erhielten wir eine Benachrichtigung, weder im Sinne einer rechtzeitigen Absage, Information oder wenigstens einer Entschuldigung. Auf unsere Reklamation kam nur ein unverständlicher, nicht mit unserem Fall zusammenhängener Kommentar. Die Führungstaxe wurde allerdings unverzüglich eingezogen und bis dato nicht zurückgezahlt. Wir wurden von VIATOR sehr enttäuscht.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Es stimmt nicht ganz, ich habe 30 Minuten nach der Tour auf dich gewartet, als du nicht aufgetaucht bist. Ich habe dich viele Male angerufen, du hast mir nicht geantwortet, und nach 2 Stunden hast du den Vaitor um eine Neufundierung gebeten. Es tut mir leid, aber es ist nicht meine Schuld Wenn Sie nicht angekommen sind oder nicht wissen, wie Sie mit GBS zum Treffpunkt gelangen. It's not entirely true, I was waiting for you 30 minutes after the tour when you didn't show up. I called you many times, you didn't answer me, and after 2 hours you asked vaitor for a refound. I'm sorry but it's not my fault if you haven't arrived or don't know how to use gbs to arrive the meeting point with GBS.
