Every Thing OK. But the price for expedition the Pass Card Ticket CIS - A Week for Transport in Roma - for France is more expensive.

A Rating of Below Zero Would Be Most Appropriate

If we could give a rating of zero, that would be too good for them. First of all, let me point out that they are extremely arrogant when replying to reviews at this site, which is an indication they have no respect for customers at all. We ordered a 7 day bus pass to Rome, and it was supposed to arrive about 2 to 3 weeks ago. It has not come, and we are not even going to attempt to receive a refund, due to their attitude. I have actually gotten very arrogant messages from them when I posted a previous post at this site, due to the fact they could not get our reservation correct. Don't expect emails from them, because they only answer after you have placed a criticism here at Trustpilot, which should black list them. Their service is nothing short of criminal. We gave them at little over 60 dollars and have received nothing, including cordial service!

Poor Customer Service.

I was due to visit Amsterdam at the end of March, but due to Covid-19 the trip was cancelled. I contacted rent-a-guide and explained the situation and asked for a refund as my train tickets had not arrived yet. My request was refused and I was told when they do arrive I can use them later in the year! With the current situation and travel to the Netherlands still banned, it is 99.9% likely that I will not get there this year. I would have been happy to get a refund and re-book for next year, but now I'm 50 Euro out of pocket and I won't buy from this company next year, I will go somewhere else. Every other company issued a full refund for exhibition tickets, or rolled over our tickets for 2 years, so we could still visit but they retained the money to keep things going - which I am happy to support. Poor service. won't use again.

Dear Nathalie,

thanks for your feedback.
We received your booking for two adults.

On our website you also have the option to chose tickets for children.

We are very sorry that this option was not available for you, we would have loved to assist you with that issue before your booking.

kind regards

I have booked Rome bus tickets that I…

I have booked Rome bus tickets that I need for October 4. In the first place, I had to practically beg for the confirmation when it didn't appear in my in box - and I only managed to get them after complaining by email. Next, I was informed that they would arrive at our house at the end of September, AFTER we will have left on our trip. How are we supposed to use the tickets if we are not at home to get them in the mail? We are booking so many months in advance (about 8 in number), this should not be a concern!

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

We are very sorry to hear that there were some apparent technical problems with the delivery of your confirmation, but we are very sure that you did not need to beg for a confirmation at any time and that our service team has taken care of this matter properly.

Our shipping conditions are described in the offer as follows:
"The dispatch of the tickets is based on the start date you have booked. Usually you will receive the tickets one week before your specified start date."

They are therefore visible before booking and are thus accepted directly at the time of booking.
Due to possible short-term changes of the transport companies, tickets are always only sent when the validity for the desired travel start can be guaranteed.

In case of an early departure, our customers can contact us at any time, so that this can be taken into consideration for shipping.

Our service team will contact you soon via e-mail regarding your questions.

With kind regards
Your rent-a-guide team

Hello Zhuan,

we are not a scam website, maybe you might be mistaken.

However, we are very sorry that the requested tour could not be offered to you despite the indicated availability.
The availabilities are entered directly into our website by the providers, unfortunately they figured that the Alhambra was fully booked already that is why your booking could not be confirmed.
We informed you about that via email.
We can understand your annoyance very well and would like to apologize again for this inconvenience.

Hopefully you still had the chance to enjoy your stay on site!

kind regards

No tickets, never refunded

Booked tickets for Vatican tour in Rome via their website. Never got the tickets and never got refunded despite emailing them multiple times. The website is a scam.

Hello Gabriel,

we are sorry to hear you tried to contact us several times, but did not receive any emails from your side.
Unfortunately we had technical difficulties on the part of our ticket provider at the time of booking, so that the Vaticanticket was not generated.
We are therefore terribly sorry that you did not receive a ticket.
Of course the amount will be refunded immediately.

If you have any questions about the process, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards

never again

I did not receive the ticket and needed to buy a ticket at the entrance, which cost me 30 Euros additionally. rent-a-guide did not reimburse me these 30 Euros although they confirmed that it was a technical error on their side.

Hallo Fabian,

wir können auch hier nochmals betonen, wie sehr wir es bedauern, dass es mit Ihrer Buchung nicht geklappt hat und Sie dadurch kein Ticket vorab erhalten haben.
Durch den technischen Fehler im Buchungssystem des Ticketanbieters konnte Ihr Ticket nicht ausgestellt werden.
Aus diesem Grunde wurde Ihr kompletter Betrag zurück erstattet.
Leider können wir für zusätzlich entstandene Kosten nicht aufkommen und konnten Ihnen als Entschuldigung dafür einen kleinen Gutschein anbieten.

Herzliche Grüße
Ihr rent-a-guide Team

The next day, I receive an email informing me that the visit doesn't exist. It's only at 8.30 or 14.
I'm very unhappy ans I Hope for a quick refund.

Dear Attia,

thanks for the clarification.

In this case the local provider must have informed you about the modification of the tour.
Since you are not able to participate at another time, we will of course give a full refund.

We are sorry for the inconveniences.

Kind regards

Helpful but with some drawbacks:

Helpful but with some drawbacks:
- helpful: 2 free touristic venues, significant discounts on others
- drawback 1: impossible to use the aiport transfer independently from the validity dates of the pass. So if you stay longer than 3 days (for the 72-hour pass), the pass will not enable you to use the airport transfer...
- drawback 2: villa Borghese entrance (around 25€) NOT included, despite what is advertised on the pass!! The gallery stopped working with Roma Pass for some reason. Very disappointed not to be warned beforehand and pay full price on the spot...
- drawback 3: for Coliseum+Forum, should have been made clear that the online reservation of a time slot for the visit was necessary. It is strongly emphasized for Vatican, why not for the Coliseum??

Hello,

thanks for your feedback.
However you made false claims so that we assusme you might have misunderstood a few things about our Rom Blue Siat Pass.

All the necessary information is deposited in the description on our website, so that no ambiguities should arise.
However if there were still questions our customer service would have loved to answer those.

Kind regards

The Colosseum tour was pretty stressful…

The Colosseum tour was pretty stressful also because the guides were totally stressed out. Which considering the crowds makes perfect sense but running around in the colosseum hearing everything in 2 seconds and then leaving , in my opinion, isn't what this tour should convey. Other than that forum romanum tour was great (British Guide who has been living in rome for 9 years was absolutely awesome dont know the name unfortunately).
