Vatican expirience

Giorgos_S, Apr 2026

We expected to see the basilica church and we didn’t even see from outside. We were waiting for several time outside since there wasn’t other line except the skip the line . Overrated for so much money we paid. Guide did a very good effort but overall we expected something different.

Wonderful tour. Very...

Wonderful tour. Very informative guide. Was disappointed that we were not in the main room of the Sistine Chapel for long.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for your thoughtful review and kind appreciation. We’re pleased to know you enjoyed the tour and the insights shared by our guide. We regret that the time in the Sistine Chapel felt limited; this is due to on-site regulations and crowd control measures beyond our control. Your feedback is truly valued, and we look forward to welcoming you again for an even more refined experience.
