Nice tour

Haley_C, Nov 2022

Very nice tour. Needed an early morning tour and this worked well. Our guide was knowledgeable and the tour was as described. Breakfast was not inside the Vatican, which we preferred, as we had a tight schedule. We had breakfast right outside the entrance at a nice little restaurant, then went inside upon opening.

Breakfast is NOT included.

Jennifer_S, Jul 2022

This tour does NOT include breakfast! If we had known that we would have eaten before the tour. Since breakfast wasn’t included we had to leave early because we were starving. The tour itself was fine and I’m sure we would have loved it if we weren’t so hungry.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Jennifer, We informed you the day before that breakfast would have been offered before the tour so you won't lose the direct passage to St Peter's Basilica after the tour. However, once at the meeting point, you went on your own and got your own breakfast (and paid for it) instead of getting instructions from our coordinator. We are very sorry the communication with you didn't work as we wanted you to enjoy all three sections of the Vatican, including the St Peter's Basilica afterwards (instead of breakfast after the tour). Probably the Basilica wasn't on your checklist and we are sorry we assumed that saving you hours of time in the line, by bringing you directly to the Basilica and offering the breakfast before the tour would have been a nice thought from our side. However, thank you very much for taking some time to leave your review. Safe travels!

Great Tour Company

Sean was very helpful in getting our group set up - including pertinent information related to travel in the Vatican for the following day! He sets up a really great trip! Renate the actual tour guide was very knowledgeable. Would recommend!

Shannon_P, Oct 2017

It's a great tour if you're not looking to spend hours and hours at the Vatican-which is very possible to do. Our guide was knowledgeable about Michelangelo and the areas and art leading to the Chapel. He talked a lot...and that left little time for a comfort stop and touring the Basilica, which we had to do on our own because the guides can't talk in the holy places. He was also not correct about the time the church was closing so that made it even worse. Overall...enjoyable.

Mary Paula T, May 2017

I enjoyed the paintings and sculptures. Guide didn't use a flag and was hard to keep up with. We lost a CA girl. Too rushed. Cut from 3 hr to 2.5 hr. Guess he had somewhere else to go. Would use another company on this one.
