Pre-booked tours in Rome - issues?
 
I have tickets to the Pristine Sistine Early Entrance Tours for April 28 through Walks and Devour Tours. I also have for May 1st a Coliseum tour through the Gladiator Gate tour through The Tour Guy. I was wondering if these tours are relievable and Not likely to Cancel at the last minute? I have seen on Italy travel pages on Facebook , people talking about third party tours canceling at the last minute and hope it doesn't happen to us. Anyone have any experience with these tour companies?

I thought you were asking about Tours (the city) in France. But it appears you are asking about things in Rome. Maybe contact the moderators to edit the thread title and at least add an Italy tag . . .

I thought the same as janis. I kindly suggest clicking the triangle and asking the mods to adjust your title to something more specific.

Sidebar-- janis, could you please see my thread about proof of ETA? I'm anxious to know if you've had the same experience.

IIRC, both companies are pretty well known companies. You may always run the risk of a tour canceling because of not enough participants, but in a city like Rome, I'd expect this to be rare unless you're traveling in low season.

If you booked through a third party, I'd suggest contacting the individual tour agencies to make sure your tour is still on schedule and your name is on the list of participants for your day. Another option is to cancel through the third party and book directly with the company, assuming you're still in the window to do so.
