Incredible tour of St. Peter’s Basilica

Our tour guide, Mario, made this visit so very special with his exceptional story telling! His historical and cultural knowledge was priceless, helping us gain a much deeper understanding of this magnificent Basilica and the long and rich history surrounding it. And we loved his sense of humor, too! I can’t imagine doing this tour on our own. Thank you, Mario! Absolutely fantastico! (And we made it to the top of the dome. The effort was worth it!)

Try to get the earliest possible time to book the Vatican tour, plus skip the line is simply the best. Don’t get caught up with taking pictures. Be present to see the most beautiful frescos in the world. The basilica.is also a must too. One of the most moving and breathtaking days EVER.

Already Recommended it to Family!

I planned this trip on short notice, so I booked this tour only a few days in advance and with little research going into it. I could not be more pleased with the experience. My guide, Marina, was a 20-year tour guiding veteran with an art history degree. She did a wonderful job bring the history, culture, and artwork to life. She knew the Vatican like no one else. I have already recommended this tour to my family for their trip!

Amazing Experience

The Vatican tour was an amazing experience and 100% you want to book in advance. We did a small privte tour which was the better way to go than a large group tour. Roberta, our guide, was knowledgeable and funny. She didn't rush us and gave us plenty of time to admire the artwork. Would recommend this tour!

Viator came through for us

If you can't plan your Vatican Museum visit before the Museum's own timed-entry tickets for your available dates are sold out, Viator may be able to help. Their "skip-the-line" service isn't exactly cheap, but it looks pretty reasonable if you view it in terms of the value of rescuing your plan. Plus, it's not just the tickets -- their representative literally walked us through the entry process all the way up to the security scan of their voucher, showed us exactly how to proceed from there, and offered some helpful tips on maximizing our enjoyment of the visit. Definitely money well spent!

If you have only one day...

If you have only one day in Rome, I suggest buying a good, comfortable pair of walking shoes and signing up for this tour. Carolina was our guide and she was absolutely fantastic. She walked us through some of the major parts of the Vatican and thoroughly explained so much of what we were looking at. After this site, we were picked up and driven to the center of Rome where we had more walking and ended at the Trevi Fountain for a lunch break. Then we took a tour of the forum, and then the ultimate highlight: the Colosseum. It was a very long day but we left Rome feeling like we saw some of the best sites.

We particularly enjoyed our visit to the Sistine Chapel and St Peters. Found both to be inspiring and uplifting. Enjoyed our visit to the parts of the Museum where we were able to see the various works of art. The first part of the Museum visit was less enjoyable because in the main it was a history lesson. Despite the enthusiasm of our guide for his subject - overall he was very good, knowledgeable and engaging, able to impart information without giving too much information - less history and more time to look at exhibits would have been our preference.

A definite highlight of our time in Rome! Massimo, our guide, was amazing—extremely knowledgeable, informative, and funny. He patiently answered all of our endless questions and even made sure to build in shade breaks because of the heat. He made the entire experience so enjoyable and brought the history of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill to life. We absolutely loved this tour and highly recommend it!

Great tour

Great 2 hour tour covering the Colosseum, Palatine and the Forum. Our guide, Niccolò from WalksDevour, was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, giving us many interesting facts about life in the time of the gladiators. I would recommend good footwear- trainers or similar- as the paths can be slippery and uneven in parts. There is also a fair bit of walking (some uphill) so having water with you, and a hat when it’s hot, is sensible.

Our leader was Nick and he was wonderful! Great sense of humor, excellent grasp of an enormous amount of information. Definitely have to be able to handle stairs and rough paving, we were lucky to start early and have a bit of a break in the high temps Rome had been experiencing.

Don’t miss it!

We had the most wonderful guide! She was so knowledgeable and really made sure we got as much out of our visit as possible. She was awesome. I was worried we wouldn’t get enough time to see the collection but we got to really go in depth on key works, which was actually great. Would highly recommend.

Underground Colosseum Tour

We had a great experience and the people that we found on Viator were very helpful and detailed in instructing us through the chaos of the crowds. Once inside the colosseum we were given an amazing guide who was brilliant and insightful! She handled everyone in the group with such care and her enthusiasm was infectious. This woman was sociable, had a great sense of humor and helped shape a truly a fantastic experience for our entire group!
