We had the lovely guide Yulia. We booked the museum tour with Sistine chapel. The tour was very informative and our guide was great. She was fun and had great knowledge about the Vatican. Thanks!! Olof

Absolute rip off. Scum of the earth. We bought tickets off these people to the sum off $550 aus and were booked in at 1.30pm. Whilst in transit we kept in contact with the office into the location to pick tickets up we were running late and were assured by the lady at the desk that there was no issue it was ok. We were also told by the lady on the phone that the walk from the HoponHoppoff bus was 15min which turned out to be 45min which added to the already late time. Upon attending site they told us we missed the early skip line and would not give us our tickets. We asked for a refund and they wouldn’t refund our money either. Absolute scam.

We booked tickets for 11:30 on arrival at 11:15 to pick the tickets up so we can enjoy our sightseeing in the Vatican we have been told that we need to wait till 12:00 as the Vatican told them that we specifically need to to wait. So better wait on the free que as this is pointless. We still wait more than an hour to get in. 85£ not worth it at all.

I debated a lot about doing this as a tour or just going by myself, so to try and save anyone else that unknown -- go by yourself. I picked up more from reading a coffee table book on Michaelangelo at a tattoo shop than anything the tour guide had to offer. But, list of complaints in order: We started half an hour past our start time and they tacked four more people on at the end. People who arrived early as instructed basically stood outside in the heat for 45 plus minutes before we even started. The guide kept trying to make jokes, and in other settings, it would be totally fine, but for me, I was there to learn about the area and art not hear stupid jokes about secretly taking pictures when people aren't looking or whatever else. We practically *ran* through the museum. Extremely, extremely disappointed about this because there is so much art work there and the guide's brief comments on art pieces could easily be picked up from the signs by everything. I go with a guide for hope of more in-depth information, not a superficial comment that leaves me feeling even less informed than if I'd gone by myself. The Sistine Chapel was amazing to see and the guide did talk about the paintings ahead of time which was helpful (the one thing I liked), but as other people have commented, it is disappointing how many tourists just chat away and are disrespectful of the requests for silence and no photography (not the tour's fault, obviously). Then they give you a short cut to St. Peter's basilica, but that entrance is free. A bit of wandering around, and then it's over. I thought we'd at least go up or enter the tombs or climb the top or something. Basically, it was a big disappointment, and I was and am super sad that I wasted so much time and money and did not even get to really look at any of the museum. If you actually want to enjoy looking at anything, just go yourself. Any information you might glean from your guide, you could easily do more and better with a quick YouTube video.

Gabriel was extremely professional and amiable, he kept the group motivated and inspired, 2,5 hours passed buy beautifully.

The tour was amazing. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and gave us interesting details about different parts of the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel. It was a great experience overall and I'd love to have more experiences with them.

Well worth the extra cost. We met a cheerful guide at a nearby agency and were escorted through the museum entrance with minimal delay. The regular entry queue was horrific! After that we were left to tour the museum and Sistine chapel at our own pace.

Frederico was a great tour guide! Our tour time was in the morning and we learned a lot about the basilica and Sistine chapel. Well worth the price and no long lines as we walked ahead of the crowd. We did not have a tour of the coliseum and getting the tickets was about 15 away from the site. The process of having to grab your tickets is not ideal but we made it work. Pallentine hill and Roman forum was a quick entrance with out tickets

Seemed very unorganized. You wait at an office for someone to escort the group over. Then wait again for tickets.

very quick entrance ,they also sent us a reminder for the visit,thank you so much,for all the kindness and help.

So much history and information to take in . Maria was a very good guide and provided loads of information and insight and did the the tour in a timely manner without feeling too rushed. Much better experience than the guide we had for the Colosseum, Roman Forum tour.

The tour guide we had was fantastic. No complaints and only compliments. This review is for who was scheduling the timeline. They told us one time but in reality it was another. We had to book a covid test to go home and it was based on the times that were communicated with us. Due to this, we missed almost all of the coliseum tour, and then had to miss the Vatican tour. We came to rome for those two things. Viator sub contracted to republic experiences. I would avoid them if you have any kind of plans. If you are okay giving them your whole day, then run with it.

Fantastic from start to finish, our guide Nicola was incredibly knowledgeable and had the answer to every question we raised. The tour was well paced and we got to spend time in the areas we wished to look at in greater detail without ever feeling hurried. Nicola seemed to know every single member of staff in the Vatican museum which is testament to her experience in running these tours. Thoroughly recommend it, without a guide I think the sheer volume of statues and artefacts would have overwhelmed us, and Nicola made sure our attention was drawn to the most important (and interesting) displays.

Fantastic! Highest recommendation for Chiara’s tour. She has a great fund of knowledge, is entertaining and very personable.

The tour was amazing,very informative and worth every penny, the tour company we went with were called Get your Guide.A good company, however I would advise them to tell their guides that it is not at all professional to make derogatory remarks about a country especially when there are people in the group from that particular country and also not to air their political views either.
