Excellent Guide and tour.
Guide was AWESOME. Downside was the size of the group - we had 25. I think it would have been much better with 15.
We were very happy with our guide and tour in Rome. The whole tour was well organized with clear instructions where and when to meet. Being led past the lines of people waiting to get into the Vatican was a bonus. The guide provided historical and factual information but held our interest with amusing stories as well. The small group of ten was perfect. I can't imagine trying to take this tour on your own with only a guide book or an audio description. This was a fantastic tour!
The guide met us at a good spot above the colosseum and the tour started on time. The guide was very knowledgeable and had visual props to share as well. He gave nice breaks where you could rest for a bit. It was a little harder to follow the description of the forum and ancient buildings because of the vast history before our eyes. Maybe a timeline would have helped with all the names etc. The guide readily answered all questions and was very positive in his approach to the group.
Both my wife and I enjoyed this tour our guide Tiffany certainly knew the Vatican history and what lies within even to the point of informing us that all our belongings were now owned by the Pope although there yours again once you leave the Vatican. The only downside were the idiots taking pictures inside the sistine chapel which not allowed of all nationalities, come on Vatican officials please enforce this so that the frescos will last for generations to come

The tour guide was very rushed and she would not go into some of the rooms because there were a lot of people in there which i understood but still i paid to see everything. she was very DRY and all most boring. i was so happy to get to see the inside of the vatican she just made the tour really bad
This was an excellent tour and we were fortunate to have Stella as our guide. She was very insightful and her made the tour both informative and fun.
Great tour - no one's fault but my own that I wore flats and not sneakers. Cushioned walking shoes are a must for this tour as you are walking on marble the entire time. My feet hurt but I would not change anything about the tour itself and what it covered.
Definitely worth doing the only reason I gave it a three star is due to the guide having to say everything in four languages despite the fact that 90 percent of the tourists were English. The poor guide was great, however, it is unreasonable to expect someone to point out the sites in four languages and keep up. The guide would be explaining the last site in the fourth language and we would be passing the next site. She rushed and did her best but that was definitely a detraction. An all English tour would be much better.
Best guide was an archeologist ... Humor and knowledge was great!!!
Excellent tour the guide was great!!!
We were extremely happy initially. We had a wonderful guide (Maria) and a thorough informative tour of the Colosseum. However, on leaving the Colosseum to commence the Ancient Rome Ruins leg of the tour we lost our guide. We waited for quite some time at the last spot that we were with her but she never came back for us. We then later went to our initial meeting point at the start of the tour to hand back our radio devices and waited for a good hour and then also returned when we thought an afternoon tour may commence and waited another good hour again but we never saw the tour guide again. We ended up leaving the devices with our hotel and they were going to make contact with the concerned company to arrange collection. I would certainly recommend the tour itself, however, we felt that we did not get our monies worth being that we missed the last leg of our tour. This was something that we were looking forward to. I would have given a 5 star rating otherwise.
Excellent tour our guide was great and very informative. Answered any questions we had and spoke great English. Wonderful tour and I would take it again. Great job
Our group of 4 (1senoir and 3young adults) thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Be prepared to walk though. It can be tiring but our guide was considerate enough to factor in rest and toilet breaks when possible. We found it very informative and were blown away by the collection of art treasures within the Vatican. The sistine chapel is breathtaking and well worth seeing. I'm not sure if we saved a huge amount of time waiting in line but it was worth doing the tour because of the expert commentary.
We saw the museum early in the morning without the crowds of people. Our guide pointed out the important pieces. By the time we got to the Sistine chapel the crowds were starting to build. The enterance to St. Peter's also very crowded. The wait in lines to St. Peter's by that time were an hour or more. The Skip the Line early morning tour is the way to go.
