Do not book!!!! Red flagggg - The “tour” we had to the cloisters with BILL from beginning to end was a terrible experience. We arrived at 9:30 for a 10:00 private tour for 7 people. 4 of us were there and the last 3 were just meeting us at the meet time of 10:00. At 9:50 the tour guide got impatient and started walking away from the meeting point and started the tour so the rest of the group did not know where we were. I had to walk away from the guide to share my location for the rest of the group to find us. This is where it all started. We arrived to the museum, not a single time did the guide stop to explain a single piece of art. He quite literally was dragging us through the rooms back and forth quickly. He walked back and forth and did not know where he was going the entire time. He stood and read the art pieces with us without talking about any of it. The tour ended at 11:30 instead of 12:00 and he didn’t even go through the entire museum so we finished it on our own. We walked through the same rooms many times and he even tried opening doors that were locked or just closets. I mean it quite literally felt like the blind leading the blind. He then proceeded the go through the gift shop and buy things for himself. I seriously think it was his first time ever going there. I kept checking my phone to see if Viator was messaging me saying I missed my real tour guide. It would have been so much more enjoyable to walk through it at our own speed and read things since nothing was explained to us and he kept walking room to room without even waiting or making sure the group was together. I can’t explain enough how horrible this experience was We are all so disappointed. I had to apologize to my parents and in laws for this tour I booked for everyone. I have gone back and fourth for 5 days now to get a refund with many denials for any compensation from both Viator and the tour group. DON’T DO IT.
