Great experience from start to finish! We were given great directions on how to find our driver beforehand. This was very helpful considering how busy the airport was.

Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel Tour

Enjoyable tour. “Skip the line” avoids the main line and queues into the tour group line. It is still a bit crowded but much faster. Vatican Museum visit is more of a walk through than a detailed visit in the time allowed. Tour guide was knowledgeable. Overall, a good tour for the value.

We used Viatour for all of our transportation during our 2 week trip to Europe. Our final transportation from Rome to the airport did not disappoint. The driver arrived before our scheduled time so it was stress free. He was polite and knowledge. He was also a good driver

The Three Tenors in Rome - Nessun Dorma

Blanca_G, Jul 2026

Intimate concert experience

This was a beautiful show! We had back row seats and were able to upgrade to closer seats for a nominal fee. It’s not a huge church so it felt like an intimate evening and all the seats were full. Take a fan, because it was warm, but they do sell water bottles. They were engaging with the audience and I had such a great time. It was a wonderful, uplifting concert. I 100% recommend!!!!

Welcome To Rome Experience

NatalieHerman, Jul 2026

Fun and educational experience in Rome

The Rome Experience Tour was a fantastic way to start our visit to the city. It gave us a really engaging introduction to Rome’s history and helped us understand the significance of the places and monuments we saw later in the day. The tour provided excellent historical context without feeling overwhelming, and it made our later sightseeing much more meaningful because we already understood the stories behind the city. A great experience and something I would highly recommend doing early in your visit to Rome!

Out of this world!

The experience left us spellbound. The ambience, atmosphere and the sheer magnitude of the emotions we went through while attending this concert was truly one of a kind, and left us with a lasting memory. This was our first violin concert in an old Roman church, will repeat this as much as we can.

Don't miss this concert if you are in Roma. Wonderful!!!

What an absolutely wonderful concert. It was an evening full of beautiful music with exceptional singing, laughter and audience participation. The acoustics in the church was incredible. I would highly recommend this concert if you are in Roma. You will not be disappointed. A+++

Open Air Opera Concert with Terrace aperitivo over Navona square

PeggyKahan_T, Apr 2026

Great experience.

It was a well paced experience, amazing voices , plenty of wine and the food could count as a lite meal. It only lasted about an hour which left time for a walk around the piazza and surrounding area. We choose to sit in the back and we’re glad we did. The voices projected easily but might have been a bit loud in the front table. Lovely old hotel with a rooftop that had a perfect view.

The Great Opera Arias Concert at Palazzo della Cancelleria

Catherine_E, Apr 2026

Beautiful show--even for kids!

We LOVED this experience! We'd wanted to see an operatic performance, but we knew that our kids (ages 9 and 12) might only tolerate a short one. This was perfect! The music was beautiful, and it was fun for me to realize that I recognized a lot of it. (Lots of classical hits!) The setting was great, too--with no bad seats in the room. And the view over the Trevi Fountain was great! It felt like we were in a private palace, waving to the crowd down below.
