We felt we were misled by...

Brett_B, Jul 2023

We felt we were misled by the tour company. Every experience we’ve had is been good with the exception of this one. Very frustrated. I would not recommend using them.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Client, We are sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. We have reviewed the feedback from your group's participants and couldn't find any similar complaints. Tickets are they skip the line because the line to buy tickets is usually 1 or 2 hours. Our company is not responsible for the big crowds in the venue, as we do not control the people visiting the Colosseum, and May/June and July are considered high-season with more than 25.000 visitors daily. The itineraries of the tours offered by us are planned to allow our customers to get the best out of the visits and to optimize the time available. It would be helpful for you to contact us to check through your booking code which tour you have participated in and make the right decisions. Nevertheless, we have also forwarded this to our Guide Management department so that it can be looked at and followed up with the guide in case it is needed. Our local guides, selected for experience and professionalism, try their best to share their passion for their country and local History; we apologize that the guided tour was disappointing for you, and we will do our best to avoid it again. Should you wish to contact us directly at info@tourinthecity.com with your comments, please do not hesitate to do so and provide your booking reference number so we can follow up with the relevant people for you. Thank you for leaving us your review once again. We hope to hear from you soon. Kind Regards, Stefano Tour in the City

Highlight of our vacation!

cruise, Jun 2023

Andrea made ALL the difference in turning our tour into a highlight of our vacation. He maneuvered the crazy busy streets all the while telling us SO MUCH history, current events, unique perspectives and getting us through the crowd and to the forefront! He even had historic photos and drawings of early days to compare to. Magnificent tour guide and took us to so many locales. Breathtaking!!

Awesome!

Teresa_F, Oct 2022

It was a great way to see Rome by night and to visit most of the important places. We had a great driver that knew a lot about Roma!

Waste of money!

Lauren_M, Sep 2022

This was basically a ride to four different spots no history no interaction with the host didn’t end on top of the hill with a glass of champagne as was promised in the booking. The host have no personality and was super rude to my girlfriend made the experience very bad.

Tour guide misinformed.

Tim_N, Jul 2022

Confusion by tour guide. I paid for the indicated three hour tour, including a stop at the Coliseum. He returned us to our hotel without a stop at the Coliseum, indicating that the tour was for only two hours, and "there was only so much we could see in two hours". He then abruptly left.

Beware

rhonda_v, Jul 2022

Thee driver tried but couldn’t speak English to even tell us where he was dropping us off from spit to spot. This felt like a scam which cost a lot . I have used several tours with success but this was Not one of them.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Client, We are very sorry to read your review, and we are really sorry that you have not enjoyed our service. About your comment, here is the fact: Pick Up at your Hotel with a De Luxe Minivan Mercedes last generation, 2/2,30 hrs Private sightseeing chauffeured tour to see the most important attractions of Rome, including the panoramic view of the Gianicolo hill and a toast with prosecco. Different stops along the way to admire the main sites of Rome and to take some pictures. Drop off at your Hotel. In the description of the tour, it is clearly explained that it is not a guided tour, and the driver speaks English and gives only the main information. This service is designed to have a romantic approach to the city, and it is not a guided tour but a Private Chauffeured Sightseeing tour. After an investigation of your case, we know that the driver gave you the main information but he couldn't answer some questions you kept asking because too technical. We will pass your feedback to the relevant department, and thanks for leaving this review once again. Best regards, Stefano - Tour in the City Team

Hilarious, Easy, and...

Henry_B, Jul 2022

Hilarious, Easy, and Enjoyable. The best way to tour the famous sites of Rome by night. History and humor combine fantastically on this tour of the eternal city.

Rome Nite Lights

Cathleen_T, Jul 2022

Fabio waited for us at Plaza Navona after we text that our dinner was running late. He then drove us to different “picture stops” for sunset pics and “lights on after dark” pics. We had toured to Coliseum during the day-different perspective after dark! I highly recommend this tour as a great way to begin your tour or to end your tour of Rome!

GLORIFIED UBER DRIVER - WASTE OF MONEY

Garry_O, Jun 2022

This is not a tour. This is a glorified Uber driver. Our driver barely spoke English, knew little history and had no itinerary.

Dear Client, we are very sorry to read your review and we are really sorry that you have not enjoyed our service. About your comment here is the fact: Pick Up at your Hotel with a De Luxe Minivan Mercedes last generation, 2/2,30 hrs Private sightseeing chauffeured tour to see the most important attractions of Rome including the panoramic view of the Gianicolo hill.

This service is designed to have a romantic approach to the city and it is not a guided tour but a Private Chauffeured Sightseeing tour. About Uber it is not possible to compare this service with Uber because first of all to drive in the city center of Rome you need a special permit and only official drivers have it, to drive with security clients on board you need a special driver's license and insurance, there are not Uber drivers with a De luxe Mercedes Viano with Wi-Fi and air conditioning. We will pass your feedback to the relevant department, and thanks for leaving this review once again. Best regards, Stefano - Tour in the City Team

Very nice tour

Shirley_S, Jun 2022

Driver was friendly yet professional. Car was immaculate and very comfortable. Dropped us off at a wonderful area with several great restaurants to choose from for dinner. Nice tour!!

Okay

Angela_Z, Jun 2022

Friendly driver but not a lot of information provided and van windows were not great for taking pictures. Found myself saying “That’s pretty. Wonder what that is?” a lot. Also very hard to hear driver from back seat. Not sure if that’s mark and plastic curtain related, but needs to be corrected. Did take us to beautiful spot on hill overlooking the city.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear Angela, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us your review. We are saddened and surprised that the experience wasn't as expected. I would like to point out that: During the tour, there are several stops to allow our clients to take pictures, and clients can always ask for extra stops. All drivers of our company are professional and friendly. The service organized by our agency perfectly respected the published description where it is well explained that it is not a guided tour,but a chauffeured sightseeing tour, that our drivers speak English, they give only the main information on the monuments included in the itinerary and the means of transport used are the latest generation MINIVAN DELUXE MERCEDES VIANO, equipped with every comfort. The glasses of our DELUXE vehicle are mirrored and from the inside, allowing good visibility and maintaining privacy. The Rome by Night Private 2-Hour Sightseeing Tour is one of the best-selling and most appreciated tours by our customers. We are sorry that you have had difficulty hearing the information given by our driver and this has never happened before. Tour in the city regards feedback from our customers as invaluable because it allows us to adapt our tours to be the best they can be. Best Regards Stefano

Must go on tour! Great introduction to Rome at night!

Kathy_S, May 2022

We had a wonderful time. I had been to Rome before but my Mom had not. I saw many new places and mom was still able to see the standards. We left out destinations to our driver and he did a fantastic job. Kind, helpful, knowledgeable-he was great!

Great tour

Roberta_S, Apr 2022

Two of the 3 people had already been to Rome several times. Our guide made sure we we saw something new and we loved his choice! Would certainly book Viator again in the future.

Not great value for money

Kath_C, Jan 2020

This was an expensive tour with a driver who spoke little English. We were driven to Rome landmarks but he was not able to answer questions or tell us much about what we were seeing. Disappointing as our first introduction to Rome

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Dear Guest, We are very sorry that the tour did not quite live up to your expectations. We investigated what happened and we learned that your driver, at your request, changed the Tour itinerary by making several stops and including some sites not included in our standard tour. The duration of the service was approximately 2.30 hours and carried out the following stops: Venice Square Theater of Marcellus Jewish Ghetto Foro Boario Navona Square Largo Torre Argentina (Place where Giulio Cesare was assassinated) Campidoglio square Tiber Island Panoramic view of the Roman Forum at night Trajan's Column (Fori Traianei / Fori Imperiali) Colosseum Circus Maximus Palatine Hill. (Imperial Palaces view) Colle Aventino view of Palatino and cin/cin with prosecco and much more... At the end of the tour, you left a tip for our driver and thanked him for the great service. We aim to deliver top quality services on all of our tours, we’re disappointed to hear that your experience did not live up to your expectations. We’ll make sure to forward your comments to our Product Management team to make sure that the necessary actions are taken. Thank you for your understanding, we look forward to hearing from you!

Evening in Rome

Vicki E, Nov 2019

Frloreida was our tour guide and he made our trip! What started out as a repeat of our Rome in a Day tour turned into a really fun night. Floreida has an excellent singing voice, told us interesting facts about the sites we were seeing and took us to a "secret" place to view an iconic spot. Highly recommend!

Not great for a private tour

Ron_M, Oct 2019

Disappointed in private tour. Our driver did drive us around to locations but dropped us off and pointed to points of interest. Did not really provide detail information or much background on the locations visited

Night tour started too early

Kris_D, May 2019

Booked this in order to see the sights lit at night. First 2/3 of the tour was too early. Disappointing...

Rome by night

Carol_B, May 2019

A private two hour drive through Rome was a nice way to be introduced to the city. Constantine was very knowledgeable about the history of his city and offered photo op stops.

this was a perfect way to see Rome...

Jennifer M, Jun 2018

this was a perfect way to see Rome at night. Driver was friendly and entertaining - he even sang for us! he misidentified a building or two, but, even with this, he was a wonderful, warm host and guide.

This is a great tour for your first...

Kathryn M, Apr 2018

This is a great tour for your first night after flying in to Rome--you are exhausted with jet lag, so there isn't much walking and you get a good idea of the layout of the city and get to see how beautiful it is at night. Our driver picked us up promptly and drove us all around, even going past a place my son had requested which he hadn't planned on doing. We saw a lot during the tour, and often got out and walked around a little to take pictures and to see the sites. The driver was informative about what was where, but had very firm opinions on some things, which kind of rubbed me a little the wrong way, but hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion and it was fine, just a little awkward. And he was very nice, polite and talkative. He gave pretty good insight on a lot of the social/political forces that were happening currently in Rome and Italy. The car was nice, clean, and he also had handouts to read more about the places that he took us to. I would recommend this tour.
