In in-enjoyable tour - Unless you are an art major the tour was boring and the guide was hard to understand due to a heavy accent. Boring, Boring, Boring, Boring, I would not recommend it unless you are really into history or art. Gardens are not real gardens.

Tour cancelled at last minute with no explanation - Very poor. They abruptly cancelled the tour at the last minute. Worse, they gave no reason for the cancellation. We were consoled with a full refund and an empty day, scrambling to find something to fill the spot.

Disappointed by Viator and its contractor City Expierence ☹️ - The day before our scheduled tour the contractor, City Expierence, cancelled our tour due to " no availability" . There was no other explaination even when I spoke to them by telephone . They offered 2 dates next week after we are back in the USA. Our only alternative was to request a full refund. My wife and I were very disappointed we missed the Borghese Gallery even though we had booked our small group guided tour a couple of months in advance.
