Do not book this tour. Grossly overcharged.

Christopher_J, May 2026

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. Major rip-off! We paid $170 each for a ticket that cost $48 when they gave us our tickets. I understand the booking agency making a profit, but not $120 profit per person. Also, the meeting point given in the tour description is in the wrong part of the city. It was a good thing I contacted the tour agency to double check or we would have missed the tour.

This is was such a great...

This was an incredible experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided detailed insights into the Vatican and its rich history

Vivian was amazing!

Nicholas_V, Sep 2025

Vivian was exceptionally knowledgeable, kind, & interactive. Would recommend her & “nina” to anyone visiting. Vivian did not rush through the tour and took her time explaining everything in detail. Thank you all for an amazing experience! From- the late group of 6!

Bad experience

DeLania_T, May 2025

The tour itself was ok. But the overall experience was very bad, and disappointing. Our tour said 9:00 am. We went to the location on the app at 8:30 and had no way of knowing where to meet our group. I used the chat and was given an address that was several blocks away from the original one. It was not a true location; just a meeting corner. I called Viator customer service and they agreed with the address provided by the tour operator and said someone would be there by 8:45. I received a call from the tour operator and said someone one be there by 9. He walked up to us at 8:55 and then walked us another couple of blocks to a tour group office. We waited there for a while and finally got our tour started around 9:40 or later. I don’t understand why we were not provided with the specific location for the tour starting point, and why they tour times shifted. I also don’t understand why the communications in advance of the tour and date were not good. The day before I took a tour thru Viator (purchased by my friend) that was a great experience due to the tour operators Crown Tours. This was not a positive experience.

Disappointment

JOSE_H, Feb 2026

Scheduled for 11am we changed at 12.30 am are prior notice.....we arrive at point d3 meeting and we are told in a kind way...return at 12.md......era skip the line....that now I find out is the phrase in English for only 40 min row, then a lovely guide, but everything run through corridors of the museum......anyways all wrong....eye the entrance ticket is worth 25 euros....go buy online and save this ....
