Our tour guide was very...

Sheila_K, Sep 2025

Our tour guide was very informative, and all three tours provided a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend them.

Cancelled experience

Ellie_M, Sep 2025

Our tickets were cancelled the day before and we weren't notified. Showed up at the meeting point on the day to be told this. At least Viator were very helpful to refund.

Beautiful artistry.

Conrad_C, Jul 2025

The tour was great! My only complaint is that these tours over book and everywhere is extremely crowded. Almost 100degree weather and you are rubbing up against strangers that are just as much sweaty as you! Not a comfortable feeling. Tour companies should put a limit on the number of people per tour.

Bummer

Pamela_L, May 2025

Our tour guide did not speak english very well and that really impacted our experience. We had so many wonderful tours on our trip but this one was definitely our least favorite. Hard to understand, tons of nonessential information and talked entirely too much. Overwhelming and long.

Excellent.She was well informed to us and non stop talking.

Jaclyn_L, May 2025

She felt same as i did. Our guide was excellent and she needs all that credit!!! She made us well informed.

Average, not dependable

S_N, Mar 2025

St Basilica visit was cancelled on the previous evening (visit of 04/03/2025 cancelled by operator on 03/03/2025). 2. I could not get REWARD points worth £6.50 deducted/redeemed when I booked the next tour of Colloseum even though I tried while booking. Please do not select this tour operator.
