Rome tour

larry_o, Jul 2019

Good guide, started 1.5 hours late, they failed to advise driver we would be late, only had 5 minutes for lunch. Driver very kind, not aware of late start, allowed us to eat while traveling, Guid;e left us in Vatican to make our way back to lunch. Late start caused us to arrive in middle of hugh crowd, very packed. More communications between guide and related services needs improvement

Warning worst company

Fearless16825685604, Jun 2019

This is the worst company to ever book with. Booked a complete package with them while in Rome. Firstly they call and tell u they have to change the date and lie about the reasons why. So the changed date comes the driver comes late. They bring u to the Vatigan which is a badly organized tour promising u lunch then the Collisuim then Catacoombs . They then tell u that they cant do the Collesium cause its closed which was another lie as we went there and was full of people. The tour guide who speaks hardly any English dumps u at the Vatigan and u have to find your way back to a booking office for details of lunch. Lunch was a joke as the restaurant was full as well. Then they lie about not taking you to the Collesuim cause they says it closed. After complaining on the telephone and their bad customer service eventually they agree to take you to the Catacoombs. Just please be warned a very unprofessional company who will take your money and wont deliver your tour u paid for. Other professional company exist do your research and look at thos companies other bad reviews

Response from Host, Jun 2019

Good evening, We are really shocked to read your review and I would like to take this occasion to reply to your comments one by one: 1. It's not true that we lied. You have attempted to book the Vatican Tour on Sunday which is closed and as a form of courtesy, we tried to re-arrange your tour on a different date. 2. The Colosseum on that date has closed the tickets office earlier because it was overbooked and didn't accept other tourists. We didn't say it was closed, it wasn't possible to get in. Obviously, the people already inside were doing their tour and didn't have to leave the Colosseum (that's why you'seen lots of people inside). 3. The restaurant was full as other places right in the center of Rome, near the Vatican. In high season is very difficult to find an empty restaurant next to St. Peter. 4. We offered you a solution and you agreed to go to the catacombs instead of the Colosseum (which is a tour even more expensive). I just find frustrating that you seemed to be happy enough to do the catacombs and then once back you wrote such a bad review. Romaetravel is made of people that love their jobs, try their best to deliver a great customer service and thankfully lots of people recognize that!

Wouldn't Recommend

Melanie_P, May 2019

This was just a transport service from one tour to another. The first guide was good, but the second one was awful. She argued with a colleague and complained the whole time about some people that left the tour. I would have been better off booking separate, five star tours on my own.
