    Extremely disappointed
    Diana_K, Oct 2023
    Purchased the " small group tour of Roman forum, Palatine Hill and Circus Maximus specifically because my husband races horses and made circus maximus his top sights to see. The small group tour combined people with differently named tours together. Our guide walked us through Roman forum and up to a lookout point at which time we realized that we're not only not going to circus maximus but could not see it, as the lookout point was on the wrong side. Our guide said he never does circus maximus and suggested we walk back with him to speak to the tour operator. The other people in our group had to do the same as their tour was supposed to have circus maximus. We were on top of palatine hill for less than 5 minutes before the guide walked us back, which was a huge disappointment as there is so much to see there. Back at the kiosk we were told that there is " nothing to see at circus maximus" and that we could have seen it from top of palatine hill. Both of those are incorrect as our guide did not have time to walk us to a place on the hill to see circus maximus. We ended waking over to circus maximus and did a wonderful tour with vr goggles and guide. Would highly recommend. Later that day we also did a separate tour of palatine Hill and were amazed how much was there to see . Don't let your guide only take you to the one lookout, there is so much more there. I'm extremely dissatisfied with the original tour, as it was very pricy and we got so little experience for it.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Hello, We apologize for the inconvenience caused by not visiting the Circus Maximus as originally expected. However, there appears to have been a misunderstanding as our tour description clearly states that the Circus Maximus will only be viewed from the top of the Palatine Hill and will not be visited. However, we value your feedback on the guide's performance and conduct to improve our selection process and provide better experiences for our future clients. Therefore, we kindly ask you to contact us at info@touriks.com to provide us with the day and time of your tour or the name of the guide if you remember it to investigate your feedback further. Thank you
    Enjoyable tour with a great guide

    Enjoyed the tour with Rosy, an excellent guide. Booking it was simple and the information that came with the ticket was very useful. Also appreciated being able to upload it into my wallet. One day earlier we were informed that the start of the tour was moved from 11:30 to 11:00, which suited us fine.
