Always read the small print!
Abby
, Dec 2020
It would have been good if I had read the small print properly and arrived half an hour before the tour started. As it was, we arrived 10 minutes before and were told we couldn't use our ticket. As there were no further spaces for 5 people that day, we had to re-book with a difference company and lost the £300.00 it originally cost us. I appreciate it was my fault for not reading the small print but perhaps moving forward, important, pertinent information like this should be highlighted so others don't make the same costly mistake I did.

Disappointing

A friend and I purchased skip the line tour with Viator. We left our hotel about an hour and fifteen minutes early to walk around a bit before the tour started however there were street closures all over the city due to a bike race and protest. Our poor driver driving all over Rome did his best to get us there but missed the 10:30 show time for the 11am tour. We understood the strict rules for the Colosseums entry, what we could not understand is Viator Tours not allowing us to take an open slot for one of the next tours. Viator Tours did say we could do another tour but PAY again! We walked away with no tour.

Take this tour if you do want to skip the line - then skip the tour!

The tour guide was so boring that I made an excuse to leave and continue the tour on my own. All she was talking about was the architecture ( and I did give her half an hour chance) I even double checked that possibly I signed up for an architecture tour.
The skip of the line was great however on this day there was no line so in he-insight I should have just gone on my own.
