Great for skipping the line!

Angilique_F, Oct 2025

This was great for skipping the line. We did not get a hands-on coordination as expected with the other tours we booked. Correspondence was done via WhatsApp, with tickets given on time. It is worth skipping the line during the Jubilee Year.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that skipping the line helped make your visit smoother, especially during the busy Jubilee Year. We truly appreciate your suggestion regarding more hands-on coordination and will review how we can improve communication and support during the tour experience. We’re happy that the WhatsApp correspondence and ticket delivery were timely, and we hope to welcome you again with an even better experience in the future. Safe travels and grazie mille for choosing us!

Bad experience

Itzhak_I, Aug 2025

You’re extremely unreliable No one met me to provide the tickets. I had no Wi-Fi available and I was not able to get my tickets at the cost of $125 for a visit. This was a waste of money. I could’ve gotten a better prize and better service right on site

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Customer, Thank you for your review. Please be kindly informed that we have sent you the instructions including your tickets according to our company's policy. You have received detailed instructions on both Viator system and WhatsApp. We strive to reach the unreachable clients but have no control over your connection. Also, here was no response from your side as well. I'd like to take this opportunity to let you know that we at the Rome Tour Team are saddened by your experience with the connection which prevented you from having a wonderful experience . We strive to provide top notch quality service to all our customers, and of course we are equally disappointed when this is not the case. On the behalf of the entire Rome Tour Team we wish you all the best. Ljubica

Happy with the Tour!

Anissa_G, Aug 2025

Overall it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend booking an early time slot especially if you’re going in August like we did. The vendor did communicate with us regularly but there was a little confusion on the day of. Initially we were informed that we would meet with someone at the local shop where they would provide the tickets and be walked over to the Vatican. The day of we received an email with a pdf of our tickets and given a gate number and told we would be going on our own. If I didn’t stop to ask someone for assistance, who knows if we would have gotten in on time. I showed a worker at the museum our ticket and he said stand here and wait so we just piggybacked on a tour that was scheduled for 8:30. We did make it in and it was a wonderful time. Just remember to bring water, passport and ladies something to cover your shoulders.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Anissa, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear you had a wonderful visit and enjoyed your time at the Vatican. We appreciate your feedback! Your tips about booking early and coming prepared are spot on and very helpful for other travelers. We hope to welcome you in Rome again soon! Rosa

Audio Guide is all you need!!

Jennifer_P, Aug 2025

The Audio Guide experience was great!! We did this 2 years ago with a tour guide & it dragged. Too many people. We saw so much more this was on our own. Less stressful & we’re done in a timely & enjoyable manner. Definitely would recommend!!
