About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- geoffikent0 contributionsA bus tour well worth itGreat value trip. Minibus from central Pompeii to the coach park then a 45 minute (hard but well worth it) to the crater for excellent views.Written October 1, 2024
- lisae920 contributionsDon’t bother. Just go and pay at the site. They also have audio guides available. The download guides were not very goodWe paid for 2 tickets so the line ticket which was totally unnecessary because there was no line. We also paid for audio downloads and only one of the two were accessible. The audio guide we did get did have information on most of the Sites we visited.Written June 23, 2024
- CourtAlexander0 contributionsGreat Experience - Incredibly CrowdedOur tour guide Marco was wonderfully knowledgeable and kind. Our group was originally supposed to be a small group of 8 but turned into 20, not a huge deal to us but just something to take note on if you value that. I will preface by saying if you want a calm experience I recommend booking a private tour for 6am, once the Sistine Chapel / Museum / St. Peter’s is open, it is VERY crowded, very overwhelming at times (and this was in the fall not even summer). Beautiful artwork and our tour guide Marco had a little something to say about it all, our group had headphones that were connected to a radio speaker so we could pretty clearly hear Marco over the crowd noise. I highly recommend if you are spending a couple days in Rome to do this on a single day as the Vatican is so large you cannot just do it within a few hours, however if you only want to see the Sistine Chapel/few exhibits/St. Peters, then 3 hours would be sufficient. I do highly recommend doing a tour as it is very overwhelming inside, it is nice to have some direction!Written October 27, 2023
- R4979QV0 contributionsRecommendation of this tourVery good tour of the highlights of the Vatican museums, entry into the museums and the dome is included. Great background info and stories around the masterpieces.Written August 19, 2023
- Michael H0 contributionsTerrible, don’t book this tourWe loved walking the ruins of Pompeii. The actual park was pretty incredible to see. We purchased skip the line, audio guide tour tickets for our family of four through this Trip Advisor tour. We were charged almost $200 total, which we paid in full when purchasing here in advance on Trip Advisor. When we arrived in Pompeii, we realized you don’t need skip the line tickets (there were no lines due to many easy, quick entries) and that our two children would have been free. We could’ve purchased the tickets right at Pompeii the day of, for a total of 38 euros for our family of four. The pick up location for this tour was not at the park entrance, it was in the city center. I had to walk 20 minutes to go pick them up and when I arrived at the address stated on the Trip Advisor booking confirmation, they sent me to not one- but TWO other locations to collect the tickets and audio guides. When I picked up the audio guides that were already paid for and included in the Trip Advisor tour I booked, the girl demanded I give her a credit card (for deposit) and an ID as collateral for the audio guides. This was not written on their tour description on Trip Advisor and they violated policy by requiring this at the time of pick up. She ordered me to sit down at the location and not leave to go on the tour that I already paid for in full via Trip Advisor, until I give her what she wanted. The rest of my family (including two young kids) was waiting in the heat, being prevented by her to begin the tour while she demanded to turn over CC and Passport to hold until returning the audio guides. Obviously, I refused to do that as it’s unsafe and against Trip Advisor policy. I left to go begin the tour I already paid for and she had someone hunt us down inside Pompeii and corner us to demand collateral while using the audio guides we already paid for. It was scary and disturbing. We returned the audio guides (I have written confirmation), and our tour was ruined by them. I highly suggest you don’t book this way and just purchase your tickets when you get to Pompeii. You will save money and have a safe and better experience than me and my family did. This was a complete scam by the tour company and felt dangerous. They don’t follow the rules of Trip Advisor.Written July 13, 2023
- Seán M0 contributionsAmazing experience.An amazing tour, privileged to have been shown around these historical sites by Laura. Any question or query was answered without hesitation. She went above and beyond in Saint Peter's when we wanted to post some special intentions and ensured that we were able to do so even though the tour had finished. She's a credit to your company.Written March 10, 2023
- des S0 contributionsTop Company! Strongly recommendedThe tour Organisator had waited for when our flight was delayed. The guide was nice and competent. I can only recommend booking here.Written February 26, 2023
- Travel5944770 contributionsInteresting informative fun!Tremendous tour .. been in one before with a different company but this one told me so much more .. our guide was terrific .. I just wish I could remember her nameWritten February 14, 2023
- Lauren W0 contributionsWorst purchase everArrived at the meeting point to be told that we had to pay an extra €70 each for entry to the Vatican - as I paid for a guided tour this seemed to be very unreasonable and no previous mention was made that the entry fee wasn’t included. To make matters worse when we enquired at another tour operator they advised that entry to the Vatican was only €21. As a result of this we didn’t get the tour and where left very disappointedWritten September 24, 2022
- johndE474BJ0 contributionsDisappointing TourDisappointing Tour. Guide was a nice lady but had very average English and far too slow getting to the highlights which meant the teenagers lost interest. Seemed to want to do the tour on her terms, not ours. One of the reasons I booked this tour was it was advertised as a bit shorter than others but it went way over in time. I was also a bit surprised to have to pay extra for VATICAN entry when we arrived at the Quo Vadis offices as assumed this was covered but it was in the small print so fair enough I suppose…. But the advertised price is arguably misleading. Guide Didn’t have a good understanding of the Vatican layout in terms of whether earpieces could be rented, location of cafés/ restaurants etc. Basic stuff she should know. She did have very good knowledge of the museums and their content but struggled to communicate it well and in a timely fashion. I would not recommend this tour, especially for families with teenagers.Written November 1, 2021
- historyscanner0 contributionsBEST TIME TO VISIT ROME IS NOW!Even if you are the ONLY guest, Francesca and her team are happy to welcome you. My charming guide - I didn't ask for her name, shame on me - was in a superbe motivation to show me in a private tour every corner in Colosseum and Forum Romanum - a very excellent experience! Best time to visit Rome is NOW!Written February 26, 2021
- P8699SZheleng0 contributionsPaulos knowledge of art and the Vatican unbelievable!Paulo has an unbelievable amount of knowledge and was able to answer any questions. He especially took his time and care listening to our 6 year old twins and showing them what he thought they would enjoy too. The office were so friendly and there is no way we would have learnt so much in those two hours without them. Worth every penny!Written September 2, 2020
- DMawhinn0 contributionsOnly Way to See the Vatican and Sistine ChapelThis was the best tour we could do. The lines are so long and the groups are so big. We skipped all the lines including the skip the line, line. To have a small group and to have the opportunity to ask our questions and see what we wanted to see was priceless. The Vatican and Sistine Chapel can be overwhelming, but they are so beautiful. I wouldn’t miss this. We took a tour about 15 years ago and didn’t have a private tour and were crushed by the crowds. This was much better.Written April 13, 2020
- Dick P0 contributionsPerfect use of timeTime used to perfection. The museum and the Chapel are a must but there is much too see, a guided tour is the best choice to see most in an orderly manner. Specially if your stay in Rome is short. Everything worked all right for my wife and IWritten March 4, 2020
- yosuapraditya90 contributionsGreat TourWe are really glad about the tour service due to the knowledge of the tour guide. Francesca is really professional when telling the story of the Vatican. I know that the service is not included with the Vatican ticket, but we are really satisfied and enjoy during the tour. Francesca is very kind to us, especially to my mother. Thus, I really recommend for those who want to have a small-group tour and bring the family.Written January 21, 2020

Nous avons été très bien accueillies à l'agence. Ilaria, notre guide a juste été parfaite. Elle est passionnée et nous transmet ses connaissances avec enthousiasme. Nous ne pouvions pas sortir du musée pour aller à la Basilique Saint-Pierre avec la chaise roulante et elle a trouvé une solution. Elle a le plaisir de faire plaisir.
Nous ne pouvons que recommander cette agence.
