Great tour if you understand broken english - Really great attractions, enjoyed the history and itinerary. Unfortunately, guide was VERY difficult to understand his English broken. Also stressed because we did not realize minor kids need photo ID for tours, was not highlighted for us prior to arrival!!

Eh! Was great to see Rome and all the things…tour itself was underwhelming - We were excited to see all the sites. Our guide was very difficult to understand and walked so fast it made it hard to get photos. Several times we were so far away that we could no longer hear her on the ear piece. The locations are so busy, it would be helpful to let everyone know we are moving to the next location. Also, the details shared on the history was very elementary. We had other guides on this trip that offered far better information and gave context.

Party left group and delayed tour. - Tour was a little long. Did not need so much information at end in colosseum. Also, one family did not stay with us and then tour guide had to find them in colosseum which created a delay. If a party leaves the group, tour guide should not be responsible. Charge the party for their radios and let tour group continue on tour.

Our guide wasn't good. - Didn't think the tour guide was very good. Was a little rude, talked very quickly and you really couldn't understand what he was talking about most of the time.

Disaster - I booked a guided tour for 9am which was cancelled. I was offered entrance with audio guide which l accepted. I was told that l would receive a refund which l didn‘t get Then l was told that l had to write to you for a refund so l am doing that now My booked time was 9 am. The ticket l finally got was for 11am which meant that we didn’t have enough time to see the Forum etc The ticket collection was a disaster, nobody knew what anyone else was doing or who was responsible for what. I feel that Viator failed miserably in their service
