Although they seemed very professional at first, they did not honour their cancellation and refund policy. I cancelled more than a month before my tour for the Vatican and even though their policy clearly states that they would refund any cancellation that was made more than 72 hours before the tour, and they emailed me saying that they would process the refund, it has been one month after the tour and they haven’t refunded anything to date. Stay away from this company, it’s not trustworthy at all! Book via trusted website or you will lose your money. Very disappointed!

In October, 2019, I booked and paid for two WalksofItaly (Walks LLC; takewalks)tours for my husband, myself, and another couple scheduled for April 19 and 20, 2020 in Rome. On March 17, 2020, I cancelled the two tours because the Government restricted travel due to Covid-19. Knowing Walks Cancellation Policy, I was confident I would receive a full refund. I even received confirmation on March 21, 2020, stating the tours had been cancelled and a refund would be issued as soon as possible to the original card on which the bookings had been made. To my surprise, almost a month later Walks reneged and did not process the refund as stated in their email or the first bullet point in the Cancellation Policy. Several emails back and forth did not resolve the missing refund. Finally, an email on May 19, containing Walks Travel Credit Vouchers arrived instead of the refund as promised. As a consequence of their business conduct and misleading statements in their cancellation policy, my friends and I have lost approximately $500.00. In contrast Viator, another company offering tours, immediately honored my request for a refund. In the future, I will book tours with Viator.
