Disappointing Experience.

ALAN_T, Jul 2024

There was confusion with the tour company. While the guide was good, paintings in the Vatican museum were bypassed especially the Raphael room. She basically finished at St Peters with insufficient information including the 250 year restoration to be completed in 2025. Choosing this tour Viator Failed to mention these limitations and the inability to view the Pieta and how limited the museum visit would be.

Great to skip the lines and navigate in the museums, content a bit superficial

Frdric_K, May 2024

It is of course always impressive to visit the museums and the sistine chapel and to skip the waiting lines that are huge otherwise. But it is extremely packed and difficult to really enjoy the beauty of the place. Regarding the tour itself: - it would have been great to mention that there can be a dress code - it was not really a tour but more a "run" throughout the museums. It would have been more interesting to focus on a few places and if the tour guide was more connected with us - the quality of the audio equipment was not really good and it was difficult to follow all the explanations

Website did not mention...

Peter_S, Nov 2023

Website did not mention that Nov 1 is national holiday in Italy. Booked trip several weeks in advance and vendor did not reach out to cancel trip or inform us of this issue. Found out the morning of.

Guía excelente, pero un operador turístico caótico

Luis_S, May 2024

Realizamos una reserva de tour a través de Internet para las 10:30 y, aún habiendo llegado tiempo antes, no comenzamos a esa hora. La oficina estaba llena de gente esperando su tour, los guías entrando y saliendo llamando a sus visitantes... Nos dijeron que nuestro tour empezaría a las 11:00, por lo que tuvimos que hacer tiempo por la zona y estaba lloviendo a cántaros... volvernos a las 10:50 y finalmente nos asignan a Stefania como guía... muy agradable, nos explicó muy bien todo.

Mala experiencia con Viator

NESTOR_M, Jul 2022

Contraté un tour en inglés porque no había otra opción (si bien decía tour en español) posteriormente me comuniqué con Viator y me dijeron que me asignarán un guía en español cosa que no sucedió por ende no pudimos disfrutar el tour
