Traveler reviews
Just air ticket is a SCAN
I booked 2 tickets from Ft Lauderdale, Fl to Charleston, SC less than 2 weeks ago. My plans unfortunately changed and I was just told that there is no refund. There is more than a month before the trip. Justairticket is a SCAM.
Be sure to know where to get your tickets!
I am giving this 5 stars because the museum and chapel are outstanding . I will say that the location of ticket pickup was not even mentioned in my booking. I finally had to contact the tour operator (it said Nicom tours on the booking) to be told to come to a tour office called Tours About to get my ticket. This may have been through no fault of rheies but it should be clear in the confirmation. Every other thing I have booked is very clear. Had I not reached out I would have missed my timed entrance by walking around the Vatican entrance looking for this tour company.
Easy meeting directions!
We did skip the line self guided tour. The instructions provided by this group for gathering place and tickets was so simple and easy to follow. I had a different experience in 2021. I would highly recommend this company!
Experience with you no good
I did not get my tickets to the Vatican after paying $88.4 which is double the amount at the door. They said I was late therefore no refund. I will dispute with the credit card company Terrible service won't even recommend them for $10 a ticket
scam
worst experience of my life i got scammed had to pay twice and didn’t get a refund when i was promised a refund only giving 1 star because doesn’t let me give 0
