Stranded on our boat with no excursion!

Mark_E, Apr 2023

Viator operator canceled our excursion less than a day before the excursion leaving us on our cruise boat with no excursion to Rome! We got totally screwed!

Maurice was our driver...

Denise_P, Dec 2022

Maurice was our driver for the day in Rome. He took us to sites we have not seen before. He helped us pick out wine and pasta and took us to a lovely coffee shop. Then to a fabulous restaurant for lunch. The food was the very best. Maurice was very kind and gracious! Highly recommend

VISITING ROME

Barbara_L, Jan 2020

The best thing about the tour was that the guide picked us up on time. Our guide was very difficult to understand. I asked him to repeat himself several times. He told us very little about the different things. Later when we returned to the ship we heard so many funny and educational stories about places in Rome. He did not tell us any stories about Rome. He said he had shown us everything about 12:30 PM I told him my husband and I both worked in universities. I told him we would like to see a university or two in Rome. He did not take us there.. The tour was much shorter than we had anticipated. He did ask us what we had wanted to see., I told him it was our first time to Rome and we wanted to see all the important places. I told him that he was the guide and he should know the places to visit. He asked us again what we came to see. I wanted him to show us the interesting things that were in Rome. I really felt cheated. My husband gave him a $20.00 tip. I do not think he earned it. I will not use Viator again when I take my children and grandchildren to Rome.

Sorry for my late reply but I have just seen now this great review. Dear customer you forgot to say that I came half an hour earlier than scheduled time and that day was storming,weather so bad that day but I was there smiling, and you just arrived from US after a long trip and with an hard jet lag maybe weren't in a good mood. Difficult to understand me? Usually i never had problem of understanding with my clients but maybe was your tiredness after the trip. Sorry you couldn't appreciate the eternal city and its beauties even if I undestand that your big deal was the roman university. Just to let you know La Sapienza university was founded in 1303 and at that time was located near Piazza Navona,right now is in the suburbs out the downtown,where usually we do our tours,and is not possible be visited specially during the Christmas holidays (when you came here). I'm so sorry because I'm an official tour guide of Rome and read this review make me very sad (after 20 years spent to show and explain my beatiful city to american tourists). Next time I suggest you to take a business tour if you want to visit buildings that are not monuments or museums and I recommend you being well rested. I never cheated anyone of my clients and if you think I didn't deserve your great tip send me bank details I will send you back it. Kind regards Maurizio Nataloni

1 Day in Rome

GoPlaces278920, Nov 2019

Was given best advice from a European couple. Was met at port for p/u upon arrival. My family of 4 with luggage and all met with driver , discussed what we wanted to see. He took care of all our needs. Was knowledgeable and funny and hooked us up with front of line tickets, for the Coliseum and a quide in Rome, because we were not prepared. The sights were beautiful in Rome. Dropped us off at our hotel all I 8 hours. I highly recommend this if short on time

Response from Host, Nov 2019

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, it has been a pleasure work for your family and l'm sure this will be useful for other travelers. All the best for you

A perfect way to see Rome in a day!

Breanna_O, Sep 2019

Luigi was an amazing guide and did everything to make our day a special one. This was a perfect way to fit all of Rome in one day from the cruise port and was well adapted to my grandma's mobility. We couldn't have asked for more! Thank you Luigi for your kindness and hospitality! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!!

Response from Host, Sep 2019

Thank you for the nice review about our company and our professional drivers as Luigi

Rome is always amazing!

SteveOSh1, Aug 2019

Overall, this was not too bad, the driver we got was great, but do remember its just a driver, he does not do any walking with you and/or guiding of the tour, they bring you to places and point in the right direction, this worked perfectly for us, but might not be for all. There was a hiccup in original start time and pick up place and we did loose about an hour, so make sure you have proper contact info and maybe contact local operator prior to tour time in order to get full instructions on where to get picked up or how to contact them.

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Dear sir, we are not authorized to leave the vehicle anf follow you walking because is a work of the tour guides and in Italy the police fine us if we do it. About the time that you have lost even because you took a shuttle bus and we never said to do this the driver was on time with a professional sign in front your ship to meet you as we do always. Regards

An Amazing Day!

kimY613, Jun 2019

Our driver was amazing! It was my first trip to Rome. I was with my 2 teenage daughters. Our guide took us all over the city, showed us all the landmarks, told us the history of each place, and even booked us a reservation at a restaurant that had gluten free pizza. It was the best pizza I've ever had. He was thoughtful and knowledgable. It was our best tour during our trip to Europe!

Response from Host, Jun 2019

Thank you so much for the nice review by Civitavecchia-Tours and Alberto the driver that you had that day

Best way to see Rome in a day!

Archana_C, May 2019

Our tour guide Mauricio was wonderful. Punctual, friendly and grew up in Rome so he really knew all the sites and history and the back roads to take us to all the highlights in a day. Still wish we had more time than 8 hours but highly recommend this private tour of Rome! We would have been very tired trying to see the sites and get around ourselves.
