I am requesting my $ back- I was never able to get inside - I told Viator that I need to leave tour early and they told me that since I paid that I have a tix to get into colosseum whenever I wanted to- this was not the case

Very disorganized from the beginning. It was very busy (Easter Monday), but two young ladies checking in hoards of people for four different tour companies with no form of ques just meant for mayhem. Finally we were all told that our 10 am tour time had been changed to 11 am or 1:30 pm. They said we had all been emailed about the change but no one had been. Lots of upset people who had other plans in the afternoon. No reason given. We returned at the later time and there still seemed to be a lot of disorganization so our tour started late. We had Olga as a guide and she was pleasant but not exuberant or engaging. Just delivered fact after fact about the history etc. It was interesting but made for a long 3 hours. Plus the crowds were large and we waited quite a while to go through security twice. Palentine Hill section seemed a bit too long for our liking. Overall we were glad to see the Colosseum but an audio guide may have suited us more. And the delayed start time really messed up our day.
