Magnificent palace and chateau.

This was a great tour. We didn’t know what to expect as far as travel was concerned but the bus ride was great and efficient in the heavy traffic.
When we got to Fontenbleu it was a delightful surprise. It was another Versailles without the glitz and huge crowds. The history was so interesting and the facilities were plenty. The next chateux (I find it hard to spell it) was beautiful too. The audio experience worked very well for us and was a new way of experiencing such an historic chateaux. We would highly recommend this tour. It was good value for money.

Rome and Florence tours

Easy to find the meeting points, tour guides were very good, good communication and pricing was similar or cheaper than other companies. We did a Vatican with St Peters in Rome and in Florence a food tour a couple of weeks ago. I would definitely recommend The Tour Guy to anyone.

Hi Gena,

Thank you for reaching out. We are sorry to hear there was any confusion regarding the entry points on your tour, as we always want our travelers to have complete clarity about their experience.

To provide some context, the Gladiator's Gate is the specific historic tunnel used to step directly out onto the Arena Floor. Because you cannot access the Arena Floor without passing through this exact gate, entering the arena means you did indeed experience the Gladiator's Gate. We completely understand how the unique layout of the Colosseum can sometimes be confusing on-site, but we want to assure you that the exclusive access promised in your booking was fully delivered.

Our Rome Operations Manager reviews all itinerary details regularly to ensure our descriptions are as clear as possible. We are committed to excellent service, so if you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us at support@thetourguy.com so we can get this resolved.

Maria Francesca did great!

There was a lot more time spent waiting in lines than expected, but our guide Maria Francesca made the most of the difficult situation and helped the time go by faster. She did very well with what she had to deal with.

Good timing

Good timing, great guide. The islands trip could actually be a full day, but it was nice to fit it in to the morning.

This was a solid generic tour

This was a solid generic tour. Nothing more than I expected and nothing less. Our guide was friendly and informative.

Hi Ladan,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the audio clarity was not up to standard and that the pacing prevented you from visiting the gardens. While we are glad you were able to complete the main portion of the itinerary, missing out on the garden experience is definitely not what we want for our guests. To provide some context, timing in these busy historic venues can occasionally be impacted by crowd control and entry delays on-site. Our Operations Manager has been made aware of this to ensure our audio equipment is functioning perfectly and that our time management is better adjusted moving forward. We want all of our travelers to have a seamless experience, so please reach out to us at support@thetourguy.com so we can look into this and get this resolved for you.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that you had trouble with the audio equipment during your tour. While we are glad you were able to smoothly follow your guide throughout the experience, missing out on the live commentary is definitely not the standard we aim for.

To provide a bit of context, we utilize high quality audio systems designed to help travelers hear perfectly even in crowded, noisy monuments, but occasionally technical glitches can occur on individual devices. While a single equipment malfunction is a frustrating setback, we do feel a one star rating is a bit harsh for an issue that our team could have easily replaced on the spot had we been notified during the walk. Our Rome Operations Manager has been alerted to perform immediate quality checks on our headset inventory to ensure everything is functioning flawlessly for future guests.

We are committed to providing seamless experiences, and we would love to get this resolved for you. Please feel free to reach out to our team directly at support@thetourguy.com.
