This was by far the worst tour I have ever taken on Viator. We booked several months ago for the 10:25 tour and got confirmation the day before, the tour but once we got to the meeting spot there wasn’t anyone there from the tour company. I had to turn my cell data on and call them. They said they were sending someone in a white car. After about 15 minutes later she parked around the corner and my husband noticed and went to make sure that was our guide. Total wait time 40 minutes.
The tour started off ok with a trip to the necropolis, but then the lady, Irna, dropped us is town with another younger lady, Sara, who was sprinting though the town and up and down stairs, although I have had a recent injury and need to walk with a cane. It was only 3 of in the group, so there was no need to hurry. She did not accompany us in the museum although the signs were only in Italian.
The crowning blow however, was there wasn’t any private transportation on the way back. We were put on a public to be taken to Civitavecchia. The guide did not accompany us and the dropoff point was not the same place as the pickup point ( where the cruise ship shuttle busses were). We started walking looking for the shuttle busses and no one we asked knew where they were. After an hour walking through the terminals getting hopelessly lost, I had to call the agent listed on the cruise ship flyer and he called a taxi for me that cost 35E Truthfully I was so happy to get that taxi, I would have paid more.
This company is completely irresponsible picking us up 40 minutes late, and even more egregious, sending us on our way without supervision or at least directions.

You’re the worst client in our last five years.
I think you don't understand what you booked. It is a SHARED WALKING TOUR to the necropolis and ancient city center. BOOK A PRIVATE TOUR NEXT TIME. how you pretend to have a nice tour if you open your telephone only when you arrived at the meeting point???? you didn't see how many message we sent to you by mail, by viator dashboard and so on! you need to take also the responsability to check sometimes the dashboard and your mobile and plus read better what you booked: You need to know it's hard and full of up and down with stepes!!
you Booked a walking tour knowing you’re having difficulty to walk; don’t read messages in the dashboard and don’t answer your phone and don't reply to texts and email we sent you many days before and instead of being grateful about this (time scheduled changed) you are also rude with our driver (private only for you). You also pretend other people walk slowy waiting for you!! EGOIST.
The excursion was not as anyone would expect. We were dropped off at the site and given no information. Then we had to walk in the 35 degree heat to the second site as the bus had left! The tour assistant was nice but inexperienced. There was very little English at all. What could have been a very interesting excursion turned into a real mess!
Ich habe mich geärgert, dass diese Tour 10 Minuten vor Beginn abgesagt wurde und ich bis heute keine Rückerstattung meiner 85 € erhalten habe. Wenn das Jahr Arbeit steht es werden sie bald keine Kunden mehr haben.
