We cannot hold the tour for late arrivals because it would be disrespectful to other guests arrived on time. If you show up late or cannot find the meeting point, for any reason, refunds will not be issued. Keep also in mind, it is not logistically possible to join the group after it has started. Arrive at the right check-in time, or a few minutes earlier, is the best way to be relaxed, enjoy your experience from the beginning, maintaining the good mood of the group.

By taxi: reserve it in advance, and ask the driver to bring you directly to Piazzale Montelungo (NOT PIAZZALE MICHELANGELO) HOW TO RECOGNIZE YOUR TOUR Look for a red flag or the checkin table, with the PRESTIGE RENT logo; IMPORTANT: In order to avoid confusion, even if you booked through Viator or TripAdvisor, tell the staff at the checkin, you are with PRESTIGE RENT, the operator that arranges the booked tour.
