On January 22, 2019 I contacted CLT via email, as per their refund policy, that I needed to cancel a tour scheduled for March 26, 2019. On 2/16/2019 I received an email from CLT stating the refund had finally been made. To date, February 26, 2019, I am still waiting for the refund to be posted to my credit card.

For our sightseeing visit in Rome we decided to go with City Light Tours for the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter's tour.
I've had some bad experiences in the past with these type of tours so I was a little bit skeptical.
City Light Tours did not disappoint. Friendly service from start to finish. Our guide was so knowledgeable and we learned so much from her.
Alessandra, thank you so so much for an amazing experience.

By chance we were walking towards the Basilica when City Lights rep approached us. So glad he did. This was a wonderful tour and made our stay and experience of Rome the best it could be. Our tour guide Dina was exceptional and knowledgeable. Thank you Dina you are a credit to the company and Rome. A full and comprehensive tour of the Vatican museums and fast track,jump the queue entry to the magnificent basilica. Group of just 9 of us and Dina spoke to us throughout via a ear piece. All very slick . Don't forget to send a postcard from the Vatican.Five stars.
