Dutch tour guide who studied archaeology. Therefore good insight and interesting stories. She also managed to get us good spots and took pictures of us. Is highly recommended.

Expensive

Kimberly_K, Mar 2024

First off, let me say that our Guide was VERY knowledgeable and did an excellent job. She would get 5 stars if this was about her. My issue is with the price. We traveled for 14 days and had 8 different private tours - all English speaking guides with driver (sometimes) in other countries, 4 to 6 hour tours. This one and half hour tour was twice as much as any other. We also took a private tour of the Vatican with private tour guide through our Hotel and it was HALF the price. I would check around prior to using Viator in the future.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Client, We are sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. We reviewed the feedback from other customers and found no similar complaints. The itineraries of the tours we offer are planned to allow our customers to get the best out of the visits and to optimize the time available. Please contact us to check through your booking code and which tour you have participated in and make the right decisions. Nonetheless, we have also forwarded this to our Guide Management department so that it can be looked at and followed up with the guide in case it is needed. Our local guides, selected for experience and professionalism, try their best to share their passion for their country and local History; we apologize that the guided tour was disappointing for you, and we will do our best to avoid it again. If you contact us directly at info @ vaticanguidedtour.com with your comments, please do not hesitate to provide your booking reference number so we can follow up with the relevant people for you. Once again, thank you for leaving us your review. We hope to hear from you soon. Kind Regards, Stefano Vatican Guided Tour

Private tour that exceeded all expectations!!

Jennifer_J, Jun 2023

We had a private tour with Angela. Several people from our cruise complained that their excursions were canceled at the last minute because the tour operators could not fulfill their tickets, but this operator was great. Angela, our tour guide, was able to engage the senior citizens, parents, teens(!), and tweens in our family. I can't say enough about her! I went from being only mildly excited about our Colosseum tour to feeling like it was one of the best tours we did across four different counties!
