Disappointment with Viator service

nancy_p, Jun 2023

We got a message from the local tour company the afternoon before our Vatican tour that our guide was sick. The next morning the prearranged driver picked us up and took us to the Vatican and an agency staff member met us at the entrance and guided us in. She gave us money for audio guides and left. We ended up doing a ‘self-guided’ tour for the expensive price of a private guided tour - I was just grateful that we were able to visit the Vatican. Our tour earlier this week to the Colosseum was cancelled (also the day before the tour) by another local agency because of a shortage of guides. We’ve been extremely disappointed with Viator because you are ultimately responsible for these problems. On our next trip we’ll definitely choose a different travel company.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Dear customer, regarding our guide, we explained that she was sick and asked you if you wanted to still have the visit. And you accepted so we thought it was fine. Also, we apologize for your experience but if you are complaining about Viator's service and not our agency we kindly ask you to remove this review from here (since it damages only the agency), while for the Colosseum visit we are not responsible for that since you did not book it with us but with another agency. Thank you for the understanding!
