“"The Eyes of Rome" tour guides”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 18, 2013 NEW

My wife and stayed in Rome for two nights so we did not have a lot of time to see all of the many historical sites that Rome has to offer. the one site we definitely wanted to see was the Vatican Museum. It was recommended by our hotel concierge that the best way to see the Vatican Museum was... More

“Luigi, very good guide from "when in Rome"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 18, 2013 NEW

We had a splendid tour in the vatican. Our guide Luigi coached us through a crowded museum, never lost a member of his group, showed us some nice specials and had a lot of humor! Prebooking is a must, if not, you won't have a guide and will be in line voor over an hour.

“Vatican”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 14, 2013 NEW

Tens of thousand of people. Shoulder to shoulder. Can definately get separated from each other, and tour group. Difficult to stop and see things, must keep moving. While beautiful to see, would not attempt to see again

“No Show Guide”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed May 13, 2013 NEW

We waited for an hour in intermittent rain only for our tour guide to not show up. This was meant to be a private tour that we were paying extra for (and in cash). We were extremely disappointed, as there was no email or phone call to say that there was any delay or change. Overall, very unprofessional

“Vatican museum guided tour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 13, 2013 NEW via mobile

Our guide, Maria, was very knowledgeable and fun to listen to. Audio equipment is used to allow everyone to hear what the guide says (about 40 people in the group). Our tour did not cover all exhibitions, but that would take days... Wear comfortable shoes! I can recommend this tour.

“Through Eternity Tours -Vatican museums and St. Peter's Basilica”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 13, 2013

My husband & I booked the 5 hour in depth tour to avoid the lines and have an educational experience of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. I decided that this was the right tour based on consistentlybpositive reviews from several guide books and Trip-advisor. It was the right decision and absolutely worth the time and cost invested. Our guide, Cinzia... More

“Ultimate Disappointment”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed May 11, 2013

We pre-arranged for the guided tour of the Vatican. What a huge disappointment. During our guided tour we were shoulder-to-shoulder with other tour groups. It was no better than being in a crowded subway. It was difficult to appreciate much of the museum being so jammed together. The Vatican should feel embarrassed for charging so much and then letting so... More

“Probably could hasve done it on our own.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 10, 2013

We purchased the OMNIA Vatican and Rome Tour kits before leaving for Italy. The OMNIA card entitled us to unlimited bus tours on the "Yellow Bus" line around Rome. It was ok but nothing special. The kit also included a "skip the line" tour of the Vatican. The day we went. The lines for entrance were insane and the weather... More
