Money down the drain.

Unfortunately because of Roma traffic we arrived after our tour time. Had to pay even more for a new tour, 500 in total. No refunds! I get this is business, not happy with the way on how this went down. As for the tour we did take, we were rushed thought everything, no time to sit and enjoy any of the Vatican.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear customer, I chatted with you on WhatsApp for 30 minutes. You couldn't tell me when you could come, so you missed a tour. The guide waited for you for 25 minutes. It was a group tour.

I reached out prior to...

I reached out prior to the tour and asked if my 86 yr old dad could bring a walker into the tour I was told yes and everything was good until we reached the point of entering into the Sistine chapel and our tour guide was told we could not carry his walker down the steps as he is able bodied and can walk. Our guide said we would have to go back and take a different entrance and she would try and wait as we also had skip the line ticket into St. Peter’s basilica as our guide vita would walk us in with the tour group. We paid $613 for the 4 of us and all of a sudden Vita said we could not take the walker into St. Peter’s basilica and she was not going to wait and our tour was now over and said bu-bye and left us. We back tracked and asked security at the sistine chapel where the entrance was for my father to have access into the Sistine chapel and then after had to walk outside to a 4-5 hour line to get into St. Peter’s basilica. We asked a policeman who was help guiding the crowd if my father could bring his walker into St. Peter’s Basilica . He told us yes. Your guide should be ashamed of herself for treating elderly customers who needed extra time taking our money and leaving us and lying to us saying my father couldn’t take his walker into the basilica either. I expect someone to contact me about refunding some of our money as we were left on our own to reach the basilica from the outside I have pictures with us being inside with my father using his walker. We did not get what we paid for and you knew in advance my father had a walker. Shameful and very disappointed on how we and most of all my father was treated

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear customer, you only asked if you could bring walker, but you didn't inform us about your father age, The office staff has arranged a taxi to bring your father. So that you don't have any trouble.The office staff told you walker on deposit.I spoke to the guide and she told me the security guard told him not to go through there so he left. The office staff was helpful to you. We are sorry about your father.

The company was great. The people were very helpful. They even called me to let me know what time to meet. My guide was hard to understand and after 2 hours we still had not seen Rafaello and The Sistine Chapel. We had to leave the tour and finish on our own we were on a time crunch.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear, Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review!

To start with, we were running late and the guy coordinating the tool held our place, so definitely grateful for that. Our tour guide was excellent and gave us such in depth knowledge about the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. Highly recommend this tour group.
