We tried getting there but the address in La Vacanza Travel sent us to another place, we tried contacting the operator 20 minutes before without response, when we got there (about 6 min late) we didn’t see anyone. Asked for a refund as they did not answer our calls and the refund was denied. I think this would’ve been resolved had they answered when we were trying to get in touch. La Vacanza Travel isn’t doing anything about it so this review is also for the platform, very disappointed.

BE CAREFUL WHEN BOOKING!! Make sure and double check the language you are booking for. I accidentally booked not knowing the tour was in Italian. My fault totally but when I tried to switch it I did not get any help. The employees from Tours Tours were not helpful at all and pretty rude. I will never use this site again. The tour guide at the Colosseo was wonderful although I didn’t speak Italian.

Boy, where to begin. I selected the tour and in the description it said English was available. I am not sure if I missed where it said it was an Italian speaking tour guide but it was and lady was lovely and gracious. But we had no option on changing it and proceeded with the tour. Very disappointed in the whole thing and wished it were different. I do not hold fault with the tour guide or the tour company.

Our guide Matteo was very patient, informative and friendly. The crowds are a challenge at this time of the year and even when you pay for the skip the line there's a wait due to the numbers. It's still worth it. Michelle, Australia
