I recently organized a Bologna Segway experience via Tratoli but was met with disappointment when, shortly before the tour, I was informed it had been canceled due to insufficient participants. The tour operator suggested a costly alternative—a private tour at an added fee of $100 per person—or proposed a walking tour in Italian, which was not feasible for us as we lack proficiency in the language. In an attempt to salvage our plans, I turned to CST, not realizing it was affiliated with the same company, only to be told the tour was fully booked. This situation led me to believe that we were displaced to accommodate a larger group. This marks my second unsatisfactory dealing with this tour provider and I have resolved to avoid their services entirely in the future.
