      The tour was informative and inexpensive for the quality viewing and amount of history that we received.
      We love Piazza Navona, so having spent time there we stumbled upon the museum and had a lovely tour. Would definitely recommend. Very interesting

      Peter Kay
      Went to see Peter Kay at the O2 with my daughter, a gift from her ..our first time at the O2 and we was very impressed..My daughter had prebooked parking a very short walk away from the O2, inside there are lots of lovely places to eat, we had a lovely meal at Frankie and Bennys the food was delicious. There is a cinema also and lots of shops . There was drinks on sale sweets all you could want. Peter Kay himself was unbelievably funny he was fantastic, we was wiping tears away from laughing, he certainly did not disappoint, I am wanting to go and see him again! All in all we had an amazing time loved every minute.

      In our opinion not to be trusted.
      We booked a Vatican tour with this operator through Viator. We travelled to Rome and from abroad and this tour was cancelled in less than 24 hours with this tour agent through Viator. We were refunded through Viator, but this is terrible as we lost a booked trip to see the Vatican at extreme short notice. In our opinion this is not a trustworthy tour operator.

      Disappointed
      Very disappointed in the tour. The Vatican was dangerously overcrowded and was difficult to see your guide. We lost her on several occasions. Poor value for money.

      Art and Crowds: A Swift Journey Through the Vatican Museums
      Touring the Vatican Museum, along with the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica, was a captivating journey, deserving a 4 out of 5 rating. The museum visit was necessarily swift given the extensive array of exhibits to be seen. Overcrowding within the Vatican detracted slightly from the experience, leading to some inevitable shoving, though no fault lies with the guide who was outstanding. Her expertise and engaging interactions were highlights of the tour. Although the price felt a bit steep, the overall experience was immensely enjoyable and memorable.

      Interesting underground site
      Interesting self-guided tour of a little-known historic site in Rome. We’ll worth visiting. Informative especially the video at the end that visually depicts how this underground stadium was constructed and how it serves as the foundation for current structures.

      Borghese Gallery
      An amazing collection of Art - well organised and not at all crowded. Fantastic paintings, sculptures and some wonderful painted ceilings. Staff were also extremely helpful. A really good morning out, and well worth booking tickets as they limit the number of people they allow in.

      Spectacular Borghese Gallery
      Spectacular collection of Italian art. Well organized, only 200 or so allowed in every 2 hours by reservation. The sculptures and paintings are magnificent. Titian, Caravaggio, Bernini, all in one beautiful space,,and very small crowds . A must see in Rome. You must book ahead at least a month or you will miss out.

      Skip Viator! Can't be trusted!
      I'm not sure if this post is permitted but I thought it good to warn you of the experience we had with #Viator Travel. We booked two tours through them for our trip this month. The first tour of Castel Sant Angelo. To our surprise it wasn't a tour: when we got there we were given a ticket to get in and the code to an app we had to download and listen to during our walk through. Not what we expected for a guided tour. The second was worse. We booked the Borghese Gallery & Museum. As it turns out, they subcontract their tours to other companies. In this case it was #onceuponatime. We arrived to find out that Once Upon A Time never showed up. We (& others) were out of luck. We could not get into the Borghese. Viator refuses to refund our ticket fees even though we paid for services we never received. We will never purchase a tour through them again!

      SCAM- Avoid at all costs
      This is a complete scam! They promised that we would get into the museum and then put us in a 4 hour line. When we decided to leave the told us they would issue us a refund no problem. Now Viator is refusing the refund, although they broke the promise and contract. Avoid this tour at all costs, complete scam.

      Underwhelming but best audio guide I have followed
      I was not sure what to expect, overall I was underwhelmed as there is not much of the original stadium left, I can say the audio guide was top notch with out that I would have walked through in about 8 minutes
