LINDA_D, Oct 2023

Our guide was wonderful, very informative and easy to understand. This is the only way to tour the Vatican as the crowds are huge.

Great museum but poor tour guide

Shane_I, Oct 2023

Was excited about visiting the Vatican but unfortunately the guide was very monotone and seemed to just going through the motions rather than show any passion about the museum. Disappointed with the tour guide but the museum is worth a visit.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

does the tour guide did not offer you lunch or coffe? or denied to do a whole day long tour as you wanted !

Recommended tour!

Helder_M, Oct 2023

Excellent guide, great skip the line process. Pity this didn’t had also the St.Peter’s basilica included.

Not what I expected

Anne_M, Sep 2023

The Vatican and Sistine Chapel are awe inspiring. The tour added nothing to the beauty of the places. Our earphones did not work. The guide gave some information on the works of art and tapestries but when we got the the Sistine Capel we were left on our own. We have gone on tours in the past that had guides who took time to explain the significance of the individual sections of the ceiling.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

do you expect guide spent her whole day with you? our tour takes 2.30 hours which is standard time duration for a informative tour with all important highlights just dont make complaints about whatever you have in life

Vatican

Bill_T, Aug 2023

A little chaotic at first but came through with a nice tour and an excellent job of skipping long lines! Would definitely recommend

Response from Host, Aug 2023

thanks for this comments the day you traveled were the busiest day of the year 14 th aug because 13,15,16 aug closing day so lots of travellers are expected . we are bit sad to see loosing one star without knowing the reason 🥹

Save your money…

Alessandra_P, Jul 2023

Pretty disappointed with the experience. I mean, the logistics of booking were okay and our tour guide was good BUT we still had to wait in line quite some time. This tour was a huge group. My hubby (who had a cane because he hurt his foot) straggled behind and had a very difficult time keeping up. We weren’t offered any alternatives whether to slow the pace a bit or take an elevator or offer a wheelchair. Although kids were welcomed on the tour and charged nearly full price, the tour guide did not acknowledge them or even offer any tidbits of info that might be interesting for them. For the price we paid, we should have just showed up, purchased tickets and gone at our own pace.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

why you booked a group tour if you need wheelchair or bla bla ? you could have save more money by standing in the line when you are in group tour you need to think of other 24 pax too and as you completed the tour with bad leg it means pace was fare enough please do not just write whatever you want to

The tour was run very...

Gary_L, Jul 2023

The tour was run very well and was extremely informative. I would certainly recommend this tour to others who want to learn more about the Vatican and its history.

Organized, Informative and Well-Done!!

Heather_H, Jun 2023

After being pick-pocketed in the Rome subway, we took this tour . Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. I’m still giggling about the artist who was considered the underpants painter that covered the parts of the paintings that Michaelangelo did.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

thanks a lot for this review we apprettiate your effort about this feedback to us

Your started 45 min later than contracted time, creating schedule issues for the remainder of our day.

Jason_E, May 2023

Vatican is impressive. Tour is not particularly informative. I’d recommend a better, more knowledgeable and prompt tour group or none at all.

Response from Host, May 2023

its not possible how you are saying we started 45 min later we never make any delay from the scheduled time because vatican vouchers must have a time and we always follow that

Loved our tour

Jim_E, May 2023

Wonderful guide. So much history. Check in was easy and the pace was comfortable The knowledge and depth of information from our guide was fantastic

Response from Host, May 2023

thanks alot for your wonderful review we are also happy to see you was satisfied with out service

Vatican City Easter weekend

Ian_S, Apr 2023

Well organized start, small intimate group, well informed guide, spoiled only by very rude pushy security who wanted to drive you through Cistine Chapel and physically pushed people not please or thank you or explanation

Response from Host, Apr 2023

hello dear customers thanks for your review to us we are happy to know you was satisfied with our service and sorry for the busiest time inconvenience

Great tour

Laura_M, Mar 2023

Anna did a great job in proving his no, good sense of humor and kept the tour moving. We enjoyed the tour.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Mauvaise organisation ms guide super

dborah_l, Oct 2023

Plus de 45 min de retard sur l’horaire annoncé Pas d’excuse Mais heureusement que le guide était top

Response from Host, Oct 2023

you was late arrival our fault was giving you chance to join next tour without paying now i realise that

Pas très bonne expérience.

elyanepicard, Jun 2023

Guide trop rapide en paroles et en mouvement. N’avons passé pas plus 2 minutes à La Chapelle Sixtine. Toute la visite a été faite au pas de course avec une guide qui avait hâte de se débarrasser de son groupe plus jamais Viator
