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!
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
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.
Excellent tour the guide was great!!!
Excellent choice if you want to skip the treacherous lineup at the Vatican museum. You get taken across the security line, get your tickets, and you're off!
Unfortunately you don't get a tour guide included in the price, however if you want to explore on your own or rent audio guides it is well worth it.
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.
Absolutely awesome! Angela was an excellent tour guide. I highly recomend this tour to anyone heading to Rome.
Excellent! Small group of 10 persons with a very professional guide (Claudia). We accomplished and saw a lot in the three hours that the tour lasted. Pace was adequate. Early riser was certainly an advantage as we went ahead of the general public visiting the Vatican. Will recommend to all my family and friends.
Everything went according to plan and the visits were excellent; the guides were polite, knowledgable, spoke good english.
The tour guide was excellent and answered all questions. The group was small and it was easy for everyone in the group to stay together. It was great skipping all of the lines. I booked this tour before we left home and everything worked like a charm- the group was easy to locate, the head sets worked great. My husband and I were very happy with this tour and would certainly recommend it for anyone wanting to see the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's. This was an excellent value.
Fabulous tour guide. She really knew her stuff, and it was great to see the Vatican at night. I had visited twice before during the day with the crazy crowds, and it was a joy to have some space and time to see everything. It was my family's first time in Europe, and they were thrilled. I would recommend the night tour to anyone. One small suggestion. People, are generally stressed when traveling, and when we started the tour, the tour guide asked us if we had our passports, as we were going to another "country." I got this, and is was cute, but I looked a my first time family travelers, and the people around me and everyone, including myself, had the deer-in-the-headlight look about them. I heard someone say they were worried they wouldn't get in. I would gently request she skip that joke next time. Still a fabulous tour.
I would HIGHLY recommend this tour for two reasons: you do skip the lines for entrance AND your guide explains so much in the Vatican Museum about which travelers such as me and my wife would have not a clue.
Our guide, Davide, was FANTASTIC! Friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the museum, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica. The radios with the earphones were also a wonderful accessory on the tour. We could all hear Davide even if in a crowd or a short distance away gazing at AMAZING things! You will miss so much if you do this on your own. And Davide also does private tours of Rome as well. I would recommend him without hesitation. Viator offers a great service!
