Horrible! - We booked this tour several weeks in advance. It was a small group tour. Well, evidently there is such a thing as “too small of a group”. They canceled our 0815 tour at 1715 the day before via WhatsApp. All previous communication had come via email. I don’t check WhatsApp on a regular basis so I did not know the tour was cancelled before I got to the meeting point. They said that they did not have enough people sign up for the tour. Isn’t that the point of a small group tour? They offered me the same trip the next morning, but I was leaving Rome the next morning and could not do that excursion. Therefore, I had no way of doing some of the things that are exclusive to tours. The clerk at the meeting counter acted like this was my fault because I did not get the message. If you expect any sort of customer service, do not book a tour with this company. I booked through Viator and this IS NOT a reflection on Viator. I have always had good luck booking through Viator. Viator, I would recommend you dropping this company from your list of providing vendors.
