Roaming Rome

Meeting place was clear for start of tour guide as email was sent to clarify. Small groups. Guide was nice and knowledgeable. Not at all clear which hop on off bus to take and locations of pick up. Bus comes only every 30mim… was the greenline
Response from Host , May 2022
Dear Mrs. Helen_H,
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us your review.
We are deeply sorry to hear that you felt that the tour didn't live up to expectations.
About the Hop On Hop Off sightseeing tour, 30 minutes of waiting is the regular time between one bus and the other. All Bus companies have a similar schedule and the Greenline Bus Company, our official partner, is for sure one of the best, in fact, other clients had the same package and we did not receive any other complaints.
This tour package is extremely convenient and we always receive positive comments.
We would like to thank you again for the feedback, and we are sorry if the visit wasn't as you expected.
Kind Regards
Stefano D.

We had a skip the line to the colosseum plan with our hop on 2 day pass. Our guide, Josie (juicy) was fantastic. She was pleasant, funny, good sense of humor, but most of all extremely knowledgeable about the colosseum. She presented each area of the tour with easy to understand facts. I would give her an 11 out of 10!

Don't use the red hop on hop off bus.

, Oct 2019
Not only did it take time to find the correct bus after asking the street attendant, he said no. The other 2 bus lines kept telling us our voucher is for the red line. We go back to the 1st person we asked on the red line bus and he said yes this time. Then the bus attendant took our paid vouchers, gave us the hop on/off & colosseum tickets. We told him we have a guided tour and he told us no such thing. Once we got to the Colosseum trying to ask the red bus street attendants, they paid us no mind once they found out we had our tickets already. Finally after an hour we contacted the office by phone after not finding the office and after asking several red bus employees and was told we needed our voucher and needed to stop by the office. By that time we were already inside with the tickets they gave us from the bus and the bus attendant kept our vouchers. We paid for an guided tour with audio that we didn't get. I feel we need a refund for the 2 Colosseum tickets.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
