Best of Rome Walking Tour e Master of Pizza Class

Unfortunately we did not get to go on this tour. The guide was not at the meeting point at the time listed on our tour. We called the number listed for: “local guide for any questions or difficulties finding the meeting spot” many times and never got a response. We messaged Viator as well and got no response or help. This was the only tour out of all 11 days we took tours that we did not get to go on because we could not find the tour guide. And the only local number that did not answer when we called with questions. Do not waste your money for a company/guide that isn’t willing to help tourists.

Simone was a great guide! We enjoyed learning from him, especially the added tips about town and insider views on being Roman.

Excellent walking tour and guide. However, event did not play out as described. It's billed as a tour that starts near the Spanish Steps and concludes in the same place. Due to an unforeseen emergency, on the tour side of the house, the Pizza making class was cancelled, however, a pasta making class was offered instead. Actually, that would have been fine, however, the walking tour concluded at Piazza Navona at 1640, with no further information about the 1830 pasta making class or its location. At this point, not wanting to interrupt what was a very nice afternoon we opted out of any additional confusion and the pasta making class. Having been to Rome many times, this event was booked as a surprise for family that was visiting for the first time. Fortunately, the guide was remarkable and my family was none the wiser about the confusion around the cooking class. We were able to enjoy a nice dinner, and easily found our way back to the Spanish Steps.

Company cancelled excursion one day prior due to “operational issues”.5 days later and still haven’t received a refund.

Sara was excellent as our tour guide! Very knowledgeable and kept us entertained along the way on a very hot day. Pizza making was super fun too. A unique tour not to miss!

Cancelled 15 minutes prior the scheduled meeting time. I was already at the meeting point unfortunately

This was our first day in Rome with our two teens and we showed up to the meeting location super excited, 30 minutes in advance. This tour was to be our "kickoff" after 12 hours of driving from Germany. After waiting 40 minutes (and a pricey cab ride to get there) we contacted the operator via phone. She explained that they sent an email asking if we could reschedule. Looking at the email, it was sent at 3:24 A.M.! Our tour was at 9:30 a.m. I asked the operator how many people they had scheduled on the tour. Her reply "only your family of 4". I am sure that you can get the gist of how this operator works: if they can send an email at 3:24 a.m., not hear back from their ONE scheduled client by mid-morning (my family) and knowingly have my phone number, but not follow up with a call or text to confirm that we have seen the middle of the night email, and furthermore, not show up to the designated meeting place- this says it all. We were really bummed about missing the pizza making, but instead we made the most of the moment. The four of us jumped on Lime Scooters and checked out the sites that we were supposed to see ourselves. We even ran into a hop on/off walking tour at the Pantheon that was well worth it! We finally did receive a full refund after listening to 20 minutes of excuses from the operator as to why they no-showed. Her prime excuse was the booking was less than 24 hours from the tour, which we booked the tour at 6p.m. the prior evening, so there was plenty of time to contact us if rescheduling/cancellation was necessary.

We ended up with have a private tour with just our family and the guide. She was very knowledgeable and didn’t overwhelm us with information but shared the important places with us. She was wonderful!!!

Thanks to our tour gide Sara, we had a great time exploring the center of Rome and could get a deeper knowledge about the historical structures and buildings. I can say that this cooking experience was the apex of our short journey in Rome. I would suggest this activity to everyone!

Sarah was a great guide and it felt like a friend was showing us her favorite spots in the city. The pizza making lesson at the end was fun and Sarah acted as translator with the chef then chatted with us while we enjoyed our pies. Highly recommend this tour especially if you don’t have a lot of time.
