Kindness of others
khanrah3
, Jun 2022
My dad fainted from the heat, the entire group was unbelievably kind. They didn’t continue the tour until my dad was taken care of. The guide clearly knowledgeable. I’m sad we didn’t get to fully use his knowledge. He went and grabbed the medics and stayed with us. As far as personal touch and not being just a number in a group, they really nailed it. It was a huge kindness. Unfortunately we left Rome the next day but when we return I plan to do this again and get the full tour.
Amazing and beautiful

Bad experience with viator
Victoria_R
, Apr 2022
Unfortunately this trip didn't quote go to plan, I visited Rome for 4 days over Easter. I booked 2 trips with Viator, neither of which happened. The first one the underground colosseum tour was cancelled by them the day before and they had no space to rebook me. This one was even worse they let me turn up to the meeting point along with other people, without informing me that this too had been cancelled. We waited 2 hours for someone to turn up then was informed that it had been cancelled by another person who had managed to get through to someone. Unknown to us the vatican was closed on Easter Monday, but viator allowed us to book it, this was the last day of my holiday so I was unable to reschedule it. What I didn't know was viator used another company called tours about who have bad online reviews, if I gad known this I wouldn't have booked. When we next visit Italy I'll be sure not to use Viator for my excursions

Misleading

Quote: “A guided tour of the Vatican Museum, with Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica” ➞ false! The tour stopped before entering the Sistine Chapel and due to the kilometer long line we couldn’t get into St Peter’s Basilica.
The tour guide was absolutely boring. The whole experience was pretty unorganized. The only good thing: you don’t get lost in the Museums.
Excellent!

Best Tour Guide ever
Geoffrey_N
, Sep 2019
Our tour guide Pasquale was the very best so far on our trip. He explained everything very well, was thorough and had personality, he was very funny at times. Maintained a good pace to the tour. One criticism of the company providing the tour was the detail of the pick up point ... it was very obscure. We were the only people at the advised meeting point. I phoned the company once the stated start time had past ... to be told we would be picked up very soon. Once they came we were taken to a temporary tour office ...Our name was not listed while our viator travel voucher confirmed our booking. It turned out to be a great tour but the organisational side of the business needs work.

Bain de foule à vitesse de la Lumière
Patricia_P
, Jun 2019
"Visite en petit groupe".....il n'y a que le titre.
Dés le départ, le lieu du RDV n'était pas le bon endroit, nous n'étions pas les seules dans cette situation, divers points fixés aux personnes.
Pas inscrit sur la liste des participants.
Entrée coupe-file….45 minutes de queue.
Le guide….un humour un peu particulier et déplacé. Des explications très difficiles a comprendre avec les audio guides vu le bruit, la foule. 2 Oreillettes auraient été plus adéquates.
On a eu l'impression de faire un marathon dans le Musée du Vatican, dans la Chapelle Sixtine, pas le droit de s'arrêter pour contempler les peintures et dans la Basilique Saint Pierre quelques explications du Guide sans une visite commentée.
Conclusion….activité bien chère pour 2h30 de bain de foule.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
