Never book with this Tour Company

Abigayle_S, Jul 2025

This was the one experience that caught my eye as being really exceptional. We arrived early at the site where we were to pick up tickets. We waited over an hour. We then moved to the area where the tour was to begin. Again, we waited over an hour. We tried calling with no response. Eventually we gave up and left. I emailed the company and they stated that "the tour guide had a problem." Now, they are refusing to give us a refund. They stated "they called us several times." This was well after the excursions time and date. In addition, we are in Rome. Communication needed to be by text or email. I have emailed them several times and they stated that they will not provide this refund. Viator, please step up and solve this issue for us. It is clear the fault is the company's.

We tried to contact you several times and you never answer us!!! We are a serious company and tried to accommodate you but you never show up and also asked for a refund!! Unbelievable!!
