Amazing Experience

Kgomotso_S, Feb 2023

What an amazing tour! Kudos to the tour master! Amazing guy. I would definitely recommend - put this on your TODO list. 5 STAR

Skip the line in a rainy day.

Lourdes_V, Dec 2022

Skip that long line was great mostly in a rainy day. I just wish that they would control the flow of people.

Our Vatican skip the line tour

Carolyn_J, Oct 2022

Skip the line tickets got us straight past the long line of people. The rooms had ceiling s adorned with great art. It was a fabulous experience.

Disorganizzazione

Lisa_B, Mar 2022

Disorganizzazione: arrivata mail solo di presentarsi all’ingresso 15 minuti prima dell’appuntamento. Arrivati all’ingresso ci dicono che bisogna ritirare i waucher in in altra zona. Torno indietro dopo aver girato per cercare il posto arriva una ragazza molto disponibile e gentile che vi riaccompagna fino dentro ma delle audioguide non sapeva nulla e le avevo già pagate. In più il giorno prima mi avevano mandato una mail che mi vomevano spostare la guida 2 h dopo ma non ho accettato perché avevamo già un altro impegno.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Ciao Lisa, Grazie per il tuo feedback. Ci scusiamo per tutto il disagio. Ora abbiamo avviato una procedura di rimborso parziale come menzionato a causa della mancanza di un'audioguida. Grazie
