I paid the deposit and received a Confirmation number and a Book Reference number. 10 days before my trip, I received an email informing me that my tour was cancelled. No reason was given. I contacted Viator and they could not give me a reason and could not find any tickets - everything was sold out through June. I contacted Veditalia directly and the responses from the General Manager were useless. This is the THRID time that VIATOR has cancelled our Last Supper tour in Milan, Italy over the years. THREE TIMES!!! We booked months in advance to make sure we had the tickets taken care of and now we have nothing. We called and Viator could not do anything.

I regret not touring with her as soon as I got to Milan because she made my time there much more enjoyable. I did both a walking tour around the city center and two tours of the Last Supper with her. She is extremely knowledgable the Last Supper - I could not imagine seeing da Vinci's work without her explanation of it. If you're in Milan this tour is a must-do!

I booked a…read morepricey private tour but due to airline changes, I had to modify - there was no availability for a different time or day. Although a private tour, it was apparently not a private tour that fell into the 50% refund category. So, an unfortunate and bad experience not of my own making. The customer service was less than helpful, did not attempt to accommodate in any way.

We took a bus tour in Milan two days ago. I changed seats twice to find one where the audio track…read moreworked. I finally got a clear one. Probably 70% of the tour was devoted to scratchy music. When we did get audio guidance, it was out of sync with the tour, so we had difficulty figuring out where we were and what we were seeing. Unfortunately, there was no person handling the tour who could explain what we were seeing as we approached, and answer questions. As I expressed to my partner, I'd have gotten more joy had I simply lit a 50 euro note on fire and watched it burn.

What a complete waste of money. Today I took a ride with them on one bus that had their logo across…read morethe window making it impossible to see the city. Their audio track was not set correctly to the point it would say things like "on the left at #41" and I would look and we were at #49 and going up. So you're telling me about something we already passed. I missed it. Thanks. Switched to another bus to see a different part of the city and get a better seat to discover 1) same problem with the audio we were 2-4 min past things when the audio told us about them. 2) the bus went off the route and the guide wasn't sure why so we missed some sights. Then 3) the air conditioning didn't work. It was 34C (93F) and we were in traffic so it was a sweat box. When I complained I was told "well this bus has a problem with its system" stop talking. Do not put us on a bus in this heat that you know doesn't have working AC. Still I was told "it's not our fault it's the bus" I'm sorry whose bus is it? Oh yes yours. Am I blaming you the tour guide? No. Am I saying your company should know better and do better? Yes. Do not use this company. Absolutely a waste of money. I got out and paid for a taxi to somewhere else in the city to see sights.

Our guide Georgia was fantastic, so upbeat & knowledgeable about the deep history of Milan. Our…read moregroup of 5 age 24 - 70 had a great time. Georgia taught us first timers how to ride a Segway like a boss. Even with the crowded streets we succeeded in not crashing into anything or anyone. We took the 3 hour tour because the 2 hour was sold out. Turns out the time flew by. Thanks to Georgia I had enough info on the neighborhoods to find a great place for lunch afterwards. Imagine how tiring 3 hours of walking would have been, & we covered so much more ground on the Segways. I don't care that we looked like dorks.

I initially booked it for Brera but they didn't have enough for that one so we switched to the Naviglio district. Several stops including the community market where we stopped at a butcher and a cheesemonger, an arancini shop, panzerotto, a bistro for apertivo and a beer bar. Along the way, a great amount of cultural information and interesting sights pointed out by the tour guide. English wasn't his first language but he was completely understandable and clearly, very passionate about Milano. They do other tours in other cities, I'll definitely be considering them for my future European travel. [Review 10681 overall, 449 of 2019.]

I have asked the tour company to help me buy a few bags of biscotti from a restaurant in the Galleria next to the Duomo or to refer me to a concierge service to help me. They refuse to help me regardless of my willingness to pay for the service and say since they are not actually based in Milan they can't help me. It was a very simple request for a very easy task but, no, no interest in helping me. This, in my opinion goes to show that regardless of how much you pay for a private tour or how well you tip, this company could care less about previous customers and is only interested in new customers. After this negative experience I would suggest if you are considering a guide that you look elsewhere and try to find a company that is actually interested in helping their customers.

The 'windows' were plastic screens so any photos taken from inside were no good. The only option was to go to the open back of the boat.

Finally, it was sometimes difficult to hear the English narration because of the number of people on board.
