Unreliable

John_F, May 2026

They are unreliable, we booked a trip to the Vatican, the person who had the tickets never showed up so we were extremely disappointed. If you want a good experience on your trip, DO NOT use this companyWe will never use this service again.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience. This is absolutely not the standard of service we hold ourselves to, and we completely understand your frustration and disappointment. We tried to make things right and immediately proceeded with a full refund.

Brilliant - highly recommend!

Our initial tour guide Chris welcomed us at the meeting point and efficiently organised us. We were then handed over to Dina who took us through to the Vatican. Dina was amazing so knowledgable and enthusiastic. She was brilliant with our 7 year old son and made sure he was aware of the important parts. Thank you Dina!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful feedback! We are thrilled to hear that Chris got your day off to a smooth, organized start and that Dina made the Vatican tour so magical for your family. It warms our hearts to know she kept your 7-year-old son engaged with the history! We will gladly share your high praise with both Chris and Dina. We hope to welcome your family on another adventure soon!

Renata is the best!

Renata was an amazing guide! She was super knowledgeable and engaging. This was my second tour of the vatican & I learned many new things. Thank you, Renata!

Don’t hesitate to book

Amazing tour from Renata, so informative and knowledgeable. I am not a morning person but so glad we booked the 7.30am option. It meant we could go in as soon as the doors opened and avoided the horrendous queues later in the day. We had the unexpected tour to ourselves after the other party cancelled. Gemma was fantastic at keeping us updated and communicating. They both sent us other holiday tips after the tour which were much appreciated. We had the best meal of the holiday from a restaurant recommendation they gave us. Tour was worth every penny.
