Great Experiences in Italy

On our recent Italy trip, we went on 3 different tours with Tour Guy. Each one was well organized, and led by very knowledgeable, friendly guides. The audio head sets were great, we could always hear our guide clearly. Highly recommend the Tour Guy!

We strive for that level of consistency across all our experiences and can't wait to welcome you back for more adventures!

Our tours were mostly good

Our tours were mostly good. The guides were excellent. The lower rating is related to our Notre Dame tour. The time was changed multiple times and we finally were tired of the confusion and cancelled. We went on our own instead.

Reply from The Tour Guy

Hi Tim, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you found our guides excellent on the tours you did attend, as we take great pride in the expertise and storytelling our team brings to every site.

Regarding your Notre Dame tour, we sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by the repeated time changes. Our goal is always to provide a world-class experience, but occasionally local logistics or shifting access at historic monuments require us to adjust schedules. We completely understand how this back-and-forth can become exhausting when you are trying to enjoy your vacation, and it is never our intention to cause confusion. We have shared your comments with our Paris Operations Manager to review our scheduling procedures and ensure we are communicating more effectively in the future.

We are glad you were still able to experience the beauty of the area on your own, and we hope the rest of your travels were memorable. We would love the opportunity to provide you with a seamless experience from start to finish on your next trip.

Booked tour for April 24 at 1645

Booked tour for April 24 at 1645. Arrived at 1646 due to getting erroneous directions. No one at the entrance to the gallery to meet us. Could not find a tour guy guide. Unable to book another tour. Very disappointed. Would appreciate getting a refund. Thank you.

Reply from The Tour Guy

Hi James, thank you for reaching out to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear that you were unable to connect with your group for your gallery tour.

Because we operate in world-class monuments with incredibly strict, time-sensitive entry slots, our tours must depart exactly at the scheduled start time. Much like a flight or a train, we are unable to hold the group or the guide for late arrivals, as doing so would jeopardize the entry for every other guest and potentially result in the entire group being denied access by the gallery administration. Our vouchers specify a mandatory arrival time well in advance of the start time specifically to account for the navigation challenges that often come with being in a new city. While we understand the frustration of getting turned around, we cannot provide refunds for late arrivals as the tickets and guide were reserved specifically for your booking. We hope you were still able to enjoy the beauty of the gallery during your time in the city.

Although the tour started a little rocky-was unable to find the meeting point for the Vatican museum/Sistine Chapel, Basilica-we called and your staff was WONDERFUL in advising us of what to do. We did, miraculously, find our tour amongst the many, many, many hundreds of people in the museums. After that, it was a terrific experience. The guide, Frederico, was outstanding, very informative, delightfully irreverent, but very funny. It was a magical experience.

Hi Susan, what a "miraculous" and magical day! We are so glad our office staff could help you navigate the busy Vatican crowds to find Federico. We’ll be sure to tell him his "delightfully irreverent" style was a hit!

Glad we went with a Tour

I was a bit anxious using a third party tour for the Colosesum but I am glad we did. We had a great tour guide and learned a lot.

Hi Pamela, we understand that booking through a third party can be nerve-wracking, so we are especially glad we could earn your trust. It’s wonderful to hear you had such a great learning experience at the Colosseum!

A Florentine must!

Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, accessible and kind. She greatly enhanced our experience of these iconic works of art by giving colorful context about Florentine history. 10/10, highly recommend.

Fabrizio was very knowledgeable and was really great at navigating us around large crowds. He did a great job of keeping the tour engaging and interesting. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the colosseum & Roman forum for the first time.

Hi Morgan, navigating the crowds at the Forum and Colosseum is an art in itself! We are happy Fabrizio kept the group engaged and moving smoothly for your first visit.

Knowledgable, pleasant, and fun!

The guide was very knowledgable, the headsets worked great. They were clear and not destroying your eardrums as can be the case when using other tours. The guide was informative and pleasant. And even though i was running behind, they didn't leave without me. Was a great tour. There's an additional cost once you leave out the basilica, to go around the left side and head up to the very tippy top. But it is the best view hands down that u don't want to miss.

Hi Eric, thank you for the detailed review! We’re glad our headsets provided a comfortable experience and that the guide was able to accommodate you. That "tippy top" view from the Basilica is truly unbeatable!
