It’s Skippable

Deandra_B, Sep 2024

The food was amazing, and the guide was clearly very knowledgeable about the hidden gems of the neighborhoods we visited. However, it was hard for everyone in our small group of three to hear the guide, and it was very challenging for my 75 year old father to keep up with her. While we were able to sit at the first two stops, the third stop would have required us to enjoy our drinks standing outside the bar, and that would not work for my father. So the guide suggested gelato instead. There was very little discussion or explanation about aperitivo culture until I asked about it. The tour ended a bit abruptly, far from the starting point, with the guide telling us we would need to take an Uber back to our hotel as we weren’t really close to any public transportation options. The food was good, but I feel like we could have had a similar experience at most any small restaurant closer to our hotel.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hello Deandra We’re sorry to hear that your day in Rome didn’t live up to your expectations. While we are glad you enjoyed the amazing food and found the host knowledgeable, we apologize for the challenges you faced, particularly with the host’s volume and pace for your father. Had these details been communicated in the questionnaire, we would have done our best to accommodate your request. We appreciate your insights regarding the aperitivo culture discussion and the abrupt ending of the tour. We’re constantly working to enhance our experiences, and your input is invaluable. We hope to welcome you back for a more enjoyable experience in the future! Warm regards, Kyle and the City Unscripted team.
