Traveler reviews
Exactly as expected!
Received our tickets at the meeting point. They were friendly and no issues. Would use them again to book!
Interesting sight. We'll worth going.
Easy to get tickets. Very helpful.
A great adventure.
Its was fun and enjoyable. It was also very educational.
Very poor experience of Viator
We had booked a tour of Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome We mad our way to the meeting point arriving at the start time of the tour, However there was no sign of the tour guide so consequently missed the tour I would love to submit a complaint but cannot find a complaints form from the web site or emails I had received. So all in all a very poor experience. I would give this a zero star rating but you cant do that! I would very much appreciate a response from Viator but don't suppose this will happen
Exploring a castle on your own!
One of the very few that are self-guided (for a change of pace. Tapestries, history and the view are awesome.
