Great experience, meeting point was easy to find and the advisor was nice and helpful, spoke great English. Really enjoyed option of self guided tour and had lots of fun.
Contact did not give us any more information than what we already knew. Took to much time to make contact with the agent.
Very assistant meeting guide, a little hard to find him as there was no sign that told us he was from Viator. Good tour over all
it was terrible. The tour guide was late and then a total jerk once he arrived. All we got was entrance to the Colosseum no audio and no other instructions for the other two parts of the Tour.
Great tour! A little tip for those coming next: to easily find the meeting point, you just need to spot the people with the flags; it's very well marked. Otherwise, everything went very well! The guide was very kind, his explanations were very clear and easy to understand. The organization was really top-notch, and it's also very convenient to be able to contact them easily on WhatsApp if you have the slightest question. We highly recommend it!
Don’t do it. This was a rip off. The app didn’t work inside the Colosseum. Nobody met us at the gate. Not sure how they can call this a tour- this is a ticket reseller and that’s it.
We chose audio guide as it was going to be hot and we could move fast through the area but we also didn’t learn much. Couldn’t download the audio guide for the longest time as it’s a crowded place and internet speed was pitiful.
A heartfelt thank you to the employee! The ticket handover went smoothly and he was extremely nice and helpful. The only shame was that no German audio guide was available.
Our guide met us in a very central location to give us our tickets and talk to us about the 3 sites to tour. He was very helpful and available throughout our tour if needed. We did the audio tour guide which we downloaded to our phones and listed to with our own AirPods. Fantastic experience!!!! (It should be noted, for this particular tour agency, they really prefer to communicate through WhatsApp.)
Good guide. Polite, helpful, patient.
