Reviews
I felt the overall itinerary was enriching, and the tour guide was very dedicated and provided detailed explanations. However, we had to arrange our own transportation to the attractions. On the day of my tour, there was a delay with the Vatican itinerary in the morning, which forced us to skip lunch and rush to the Colosseum by taxi. It was incredibly rushed and stressful! Fortunately, everything worked out in the end, but we didn't have time to eat lunch. I'd suggest booking two separate half-day tours for more flexibility.
There was a discrepancy in the meeting time on the itinerary for both the Japanese and English versions. Instead of the actual meeting time, the itinerary displayed the elapsed time since the meeting. Based on my calculations, the afternoon meeting time should have been 12:30 PM, but it was actually 1:30 PM. I was troubled when I couldn't meet the guide at 12:30 PM, but I contacted the emergency number via WhatsApp, and they promptly assisted me, which was very helpful. Please change the itinerary to display the "time" instead of the elapsed time.
