Save yourself the headache and book elsewhere
Richard_S
, Jul 2022
The colosseum portion with Angela was great. It was all downhill from there. We had to get our own transportation from the colosseum to the Vatican. We met our guide and stood outside the Vatican for 40 minutes waiting for another guide from the company to bring us our admission tickets. Our tour guide was a retired professor who proceeded to give us an advanced lesson in Vatican/Roman history. She quizzed us throughout the tour and was not happy if we responded incorrectly or if someone wasn’t paying attention to what she was saying. She repeated the same things numerous times. We told her that she was taking too much time and we were going to miss the Sistine chapel and St Peter’s basilica. We told her our ride was coming at 6 for the last part of the tour. She told us we had “plenty of time” ( this was at 5:40!!). We ended up with FIVE minutes at the Sistine chapel and did not get to see St Peter’s basilica AT ALL. The two most important parts of the Vatican tour!! Our driver for the last part was kind enough to wait for us. By the time we walked to the meeting spot it was already 6:30 so we lost 30 minutes of that tour, too. I immediately reached out to the provider and was told they would look into it. That was 3 weeks ago and I haven’t heard a word, even though I messaged them several times. For as much as we paid… save yourself the headache and book with someone else.

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.
