Great Tour

Samantha_F, Apr 2022

Our tour guide (I believe her name was Laura) was super knowledgeable, and she was able to answer all our questions. We learned a lot and had an excellent time. Great tour!

Do not book !

Karen_F, Apr 2022

I would definitely not recommend as the tour provider did not wait for one minute after the meet time. Also beware the entry ticket will be extra to the price of the tour. Also she will ask you to reschedule after you have paid her for the tour which btw is not refundable. Personally I would not use this company. Feels like I have been scammed to be fair!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Dear Mrs Kare, Since you told us you didn't realize that the entrance ticket was not included and you didn't purchased the ticket on your own, we told you we could book it on your behalf and you would have refund us at the meeting point. You never replied and we decided to book your tickets to be sure you could have your service. I think this was a kindness since we are obligated to provide you only with the service you booked. We have been kind offering you to upgrade free of charge your booking with a guided tour to the Colosseum arena that was available at a different start time. You thought we were rescheduling your tour but it never happened....Since you seemed very rigid regarding the start time we confirmed the tour at 11am, as you booked, with the regular entrance ticket we had. Kinly note that 11am you booked is the start time and entrance time to the Colosseum. After that time the ticket expires and cannot be used, changed or canceled anymore. That's why online find the information asking to be at the meeting point 10 minutes before. You didn't book a private tour and we must grant the entrance and the guided tour to other customer that day. I am very sorry that we went above and beyond and you didn't appreciate and you thought we were scam you.... Please next time try to understand that we are not interested on scam you for few euros...
