Tickets canceled with Get your guide

I booked collusem tour in Rome about 3 weeks ago, I just received a email from Get Your Guide that the tour was over booked so my tour was canceled. I paid for tickets even received ticket vouchers and now it's canceled and their going to refund my money. Has anyone had this happen.

It means that the company running your tour couldn't obtain tickets. Since they are refunding you, it's not a scam but it's unfortunate, will cause you more work, and has happened to others. Hopefully someone will post the website so you can buy directly without a middleman.

Unfortunately, I’ve seen this happen quite often. Basically these places don’t always do real time booking. A lot of them are taking a reservation and then trying to match you up with the tour operator and when they can’t do it this is what happens.

Which is why, if if it all possible, I recommend booking direct if you can. If you can figure out who the tour operator is, you generally have a better shot of this not happening. Because obviously the tour operator would rather use their customers and not pay someone like get your guide or Viator a commission.
