Traveler reviews
Be careful
This seems like a scam. We had same experience as A reviewer from 2 weeks ago. We showed up to address, at a supposed Giuly’s cafe. No cafe and no tour guides. The phone number we were given to contact the tour said this is the wrong number and was not helpful. We went to Giulys cafe, which was 2 blocks away (at a different address completely). The manger there assisted us as he said no tour guides were meeting at the suggested time at his restaurant. He was very helpful and helped us make calls. In short he said this is a bad company and very disorganized. Reading his body language…I think he thought it was more than a disorganized company. I just received an email….hours after our guided tour was to start that it had been cancelled. I would be cautious about booking with this company. We are disappointed as we will not be able to visit the Vatican museums and Sistine Chapel as this was our only full day in Rome. I never write bad reviews by the way… but do not want others to fall into same trap.
Disappointing
Total disappointment. Italian scam. No one showed up, no one answering the phones... Fortunately TripAdvisor helpdesk was very helpful and after a few days with provided evidence they gave us a refund. We lost an afternoon in Rome because of this plus the frustration. Awful experience. Never again!
Stunning with great bits of information
Rossella was wondeful guide. She was very knowledgable, effervescent and put the group at ease. She definitely highlighted so many wonderful things while on our tour.
Cancelled immediately before without notice.
Terrible. They canceled without notice in the same day of our tour. They didn’t give a reasons that made sense. It was shady and confusing. We did not get to see the Vatican after all. Do not recommend.
Scam
We booked a tour of the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel with guide for 198€ for 2 people. I received the confirmation email and the meeting place. D-Day: no one at the meeting place... I contacted the contact number. There was an error while booking. It’s cancelled but we’ll refund you. Except that there was no space available elsewhere given the Easter wknd. So scam!
