Pickpocketing-Level Scam - Avoid!!!

1.00If I could provide a ZERO rating for this tour, I would. The option is not available. Avoid this tour at all cost!! In May, there were many labor strikes. It was all over the news (TV, radio). I received notification only 24-hours in advance that my train would not operate from Rome to Venice. It was impossible for me to go on this trip. When I called Viator (and messaged them), they were incredibly unprofessional and rude. Apparently, labor strikes in Europe are a common event so nobody cared. Ask yourself this: How can you cancel a tour package 4 days ahead of time for a refund if you only learn your train is canceled the day before you're supposed to visit Venice? That's impossible. There's no logic to this request. Not only did they refuse to refund me, the merchant was rude, and and then offered to charge me MORE $$$ to change the date of my reservation to another date when I was not in Italy. Imagine that? No thanks. I paid $128 for nothing and I have never visited Venice in my life. Now, I have no interest in ever seeing Venice at all.
Great walking tour
