Another useful public service announcement from Joric. It doesn't affect me personally, because (a) I'm not planning to visit Rome, (b) my preference in any foreign city is to wander around by myself with guidebook in hand - how shockingly old-fashioned! - and get my own tickets rather than to go on a guided tour. But this does sound a major problem, and I can only hope that the expected new laws don't make it worse.
Thanks Joric! This is timely since our daughter and BF will be visiting Rome in October. Will forward your video to her. 🙏🏻 BTW-Something similar did happen to us years ago when we booked a tour from Seoul to the DMZ. Was cancelled at the last minute from a reputable operator. Never got our money back-only a ‘credit’ which we never used.
Tour companies are canceling tours left and right. Make sure you know what refund policy they offer.
Glad I was there about 2 1/2 weeks ago and had no problem! Thank you so much for the update.
You are welcome
Thanks for the Info, we have family going there in July, so I'll forward this to them as and FYI and note to be careful....
You are welcome. I'm also in some Italy Travel Facebook groups, and numerous people are upset with tours being cancelled.
