Went to Italy in 2010 and I booked with this company to see the Vatican Museum. My main reason to book with this tour company, because it was the most affordable and they were offering a spring sale :D I didn't have much expectation going in; but honestly I was blown away by the tour! Definitely a major highlight o... More

On our first day in Rome, me and my friends attempted to go into Vatican City without a tour guide and let's just say it didn't go well. We spent most of our time wandering aimlessly amongst beautiful art, arguing about the best way to get to the Sisteen chapel. The following day we agreed to just get a tour... More

I enjoyed this tour of the Vatican and I found the guide around the Vatican Museum invaluable in explaining many of the sites. However, I think particularly with two young children, I found the tour a bit slow in parts and felt that our tour guide lingered a bit too long on areas of more academic than general interest. Otherwise... More

Great service from start to finish. I accidentally booked for the wrong day and was able to change to the following one with no problems. Pick-up is convenient to the entrance and you get to skip the huge queues to get into the Vatican Museums. Our guide was friendly, patient and above all very knowledgeable. She was happy to answer...

I previously toured the Vatican ten years ago and thought I would be bored the second time around. However, this was not the case due to our guide, Vanessa. Vanessa is a knowledgable, bubbly, witty Australian and she made the tour interesting for all in our group, including a 14 year old who was glued to her every word. The... More

Booked this tour the night before we left and had a great time seeing all of the sights. The groups were small, later in the afternoon so it was not extremely busy and our guide spoke English very well and was easy to understand. Also, they gave us headphones so no matter if you were taking pictures or a little... More

The Vatican museum is very crowded. Some tour companies did not provide headsets for their guests. We had individual headsets that enabled us to clearly hear our tour guide (who was very knowledgeable). With the the large volume of visitors, if we did not have headsets it would have been a struggle to hear the guide and we would have... More

Great tour and guide of Vatican Museum. Our guide was very knowledgable and highlighted the major artwork. The sistine chapel was amazing and got to spend extra time here. Tour ended at St. Peter's Basilica where could skip the line as well, and walk around at our leisure. The only downside was that the museum was extremely crowded, but this... More

Being able to skip the lines for both the Vatican and Basilica (which stretched around the building when we were there) was a great start. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the history of the Vatican very accessible. The tour was well paced to hit the most important pieces in the Vatican, while still giving us some time to... More
