We booked a 90-minute nonrefundable tour for 4 people. I received the following email shortly after confirming and paying for the tour: "We attempted to contact you by phone. We would like to inform you that the tour will last three hours at no cost to your group. If you wish to discontinue after one and a half hours, the driver will stop the tour. Should you choose to continue, you may proceed accordingly." We only wanted 90 minutes and there was no phone call as I had no missed calls in my call history. The driver (VITO) notified us after 75 minutes that the tour would continue for at least 3 more stops and would not return to the original pickup point till after these stops (he said there was not enough time to return to the pickup point. This would take us well beyond the 90 minutes. This was due to another family wanting the 3-hour tour and catering to their wishes and not what we had signed up for. Being on the other side of the Trevi fountain at this point, we decided to get off the tour as we were already 2 miles from the original pickup/dropoff point and the driver was not going back until these 3 points of interest had been covered (obviously part of the 3-hour tour). We did not get what we paid for and will dispute the credit card charge. It was very obvious that the family of 6 was being catered to, and our tour of 90 minutes was just not important. BEWARE of this bait and switch operator. There was no indication when we booked that the tour could be extended. We only wanted 90 minutes not double that.
This was a great idea in theory (and with a great guide) but unfortunately we did not have a great experience. Our guide Erfon was not knowledgeable about the sites. At the start of the tour we had trouble finding him, he spent half of the time looking at his phone, and he tried to cut the tour 15 minutes a short. When we asked to take us one more place he agreed but begrudgingly. We did get to drive by and briefly stop at several highlight spots, but you really need a better guide to explain what it is you’re seeing in this beautiful city.
Jack was awesome!!!! Great way to see everything!!
We had a wonderful night tour with Vito- such a lovely man with such passion for the history and the architecture of Rome! He has a great sense of humor and is fun and entertaining. Both my boys - a tween and a teen - had a great time.
We really enjoyed this night time highlights tour of Rome. Everything looks different at night, very beautiful! Our guide, Alex, was friendly, very knowledgeable and fun. He made the tour so much better!
Great quick experience if you want to see all the stops! Simon was awesome
Jack was a fantastic guide, extremely knowledgeable and friendly and provided a history of the city. We stopped at each location and gave us time to get off and take it all in. The Colosseum illuminated at night was magical.
Very good ezperience thx to Julia
A great way to see the sights and easy to navigate through the narrow streets on a golf cart. It was lovely seeing the sights lit up at night.
Alex was a great guide! We had a great time thanks to him. Rome at night is magnificent, I recommend it!
