"SKIP THE LINE" ----- BS!!!!
This tour is a scam run by a Canadian man and a British woman - BEWARE!!
We were approached by Marie as we waited in line for the Vatican Museo. We were offered a private tour of only 7 to 10 people and a chance to skip the line. We were told they have their own private entrance. The price seemed a bit over the top but we were on our last day and decided to "SKIP THE LINE". All seemed good so we went to a meeting point. Well we had to wait over an hour as they drafted more SUCKERS!!! Into the tour.

We finally got started 2 hours later after the promised small group was pumped to 30 and meanwhile the guide Leila dribbled on the same "patter" over and over.

But even worse to our complete shock, it wasn't really "skip the line" at all. Marie had joined the line earlier and the delaying tactic by Leila the guide as they drafted in more suckers, had allowed Marie to progress in the queue. We pushed into the queue where Marie was and just had to wait in the regular line for over an hour like we would have done without the guide.
We all felt cheated as we paid 25euros extra for the no queue promise. Everyone in the group was furious.

And to top of it all, our 60 year old tour guide Leila was not impressive at all. She wasn't very fluent in English and wasn't good as a guide either, she repeated the same things over and over.

All in all, we were totally disappointed and felt duped. Several of us did the whole tour again several days later with our iPhone app that was 10 times better than the tour company.

I would never recommend this company to anyone. Stay away from them and in fact they should be prosecuted for fraud.

This past April I visited Rome for the second time in my life and on this trip I traveled with my parents, my aunt, and a friend. They had never been to Rome and although I didn’t have any particular itinerary down I was prepared to show them around. On the first day we were there we ran into Frank by the Vatican. He offered to meet us the next day and give us some options on a few tours that we could take. He met us for coffee and was very helpful and informative in showing us the different guided tours available. I had never been on a guided tour and was accustomed to using the audio guides you can rent with prerecorded guides. We went ahead and booked the Vatican, the Coliseum and the underground tombs with Frank and in the end I was very happy and pleased that we did. These were private tours led by a tour guide and just my parents, aunt and friend. I must say it was well worth the money. Frank and Maria were so helpful and the tour guides they arranged for us were amazing. I especially recommend the Vatican tour with them because they reserve people in the line for you which saves a lot of time and energy. Having the guided tours made life so much easier for me and for my family. We just needed to show up at their office or meet in a designated place and from there they took care of the rest. Frank and Maria helped make the trip a wonderful experience. I didn’t feel pressured with them and really enjoyed hanging out with both of them. Frank even took a day and showed us around Rome one day. It was so nice not having to look at a map whiling traveling with my parents. Rome is a very crowded city and it can be a little overwhelming to some. Having Frank and Maria know exactly where to go, what to see, and of course the best restaurants to eat at was a comfort and made the trip perfect. If you ever visit Rome and want to experience it with someone who will make you feel like you are visiting a family member, go and visit Frank and Maria with Sentia tours. You won’t regret it.
