          Terrible
          Kerry_G, Nov 2023
          The tour didn't happen. No guide met us after we travelled and waited to go to the vatican only to find out it was closed. I want a full refund 😕 not happy we got booked on a day it was closed. We missed out on an opertunity to see this. Not happy at all.
          Worst Tour I ever had
          Dheeraj_R, Oct 2023
          Tour was the worst I ever had experienced. The agent ended the tour after Vatican Muesum and Sistine Chapel. No tour was done for st Peter Basilica. When I approached tour guide he was not helping and asked to contact Viator for refund, which later he denied when Viator support contacted him. Total scam. I'll definitely not use the service nor recommend it to any one.
          Guide was terrible....
          James_B, Sep 2023
          Guide was terrible. English speaking guide spoke in broken English. It felt like we We're running through the museum. Tour was supposed to start at 2:30 we didn't get into the museum till 3:15. Overall a terrible experience.
          Terrible
          Joanne_P, Aug 2023
          The worse tour I have experienced after doing quite a few excellent tours through Europe in the past 10 weeks. Times were confusing and inaccurate. Tour left 90 minutes after stated time. Organisation was shambolic with no one being able to provide accurate information. Avoid. There are so many other excellent operators available.

          The tour guide we had spent too much time talking outside in the heat, and inside as much. Couldn’t hear a lot with the headphones . Just a brief overview would have sufficed She did the best she could I guess with the crowd However, it was still a wonderful place to see. Overwhelming

          Great Tour & Guide, but Very Crowded
          JIMMY_B, Aug 2023
          This tour was very well done. The instructions for link up were clear, the tour guide was knowledgeable, and the tour was extensive. The only critique I have which is out of the hands of the company is the museum tour and Sistine Chapel were more crowded than Disneyland. Definitely do this tour, but go in the off-season when you can take more time to appreciate the museum and aren’t packed in like Amalfi Sardines. Worth it though!

          It was difficult to understand the tour guide. Otherwise, the staff of the company were amazing and were very helpful in ensuring we get to our next tour at the Coliseum on time.

          Poorly run tour and not as advertised
          Keith_L, Jul 2023
          This was a guided tour of only the Vatican museum. When it came time to see the Sistine Chapel the guide said he wasn’t allowed in and told us to go on our own. Then the Chapel exit signs were confusing and we ended back in the museum. Once in the museum we could not get to St. Peter’s without waiting in line AGAIN. It was also too close to closing so we never got to see it. Save you’re money. This guided tour was poor at best.

          Too crowded and HOT
          Mary_K, Jul 2023
          The tour was way too long in this heat. The guide would not stop talking the whole time we were in the Sistine Chapel to just give us an opportunity to admire and take in the experience of being there. We tagged out of the tour at that point. We were exhausted from the heat and overcrowding in the museum.

          Absolutely terrible!!!
          Junko_k, May 2023
          These people are absolutely terrible. They knew the entire time that the Vatican museums were closed on May 1. They sold us tickets and sent confirmations the day before, but I also sent an email one day before that the museums were closed and we could either rebook (which we cannot, because we are on a trip to Europe that was planned a year ago!) or request a refund. I am very disappointed by the entire experience, how can they just expect people to change their schedules on a trip that was booked months and months in advance? I do not recommend this company for anything and if I do not receive a refund promptly, I will call my credit card company and dispute the charges and I do not recommend them at all. On top of that they have not responded to any communications or emails or texts or chats through the Viator app or anything! Completely useless Very dissatisfied
          Vatican museum during eastern
          Anders_M, Apr 2023
          Visiting Vatican museum during eastern. Unfortunately Peters basilica was closed during eastern. Roberto made a very interesting and informative visit. The museum is so big that a visit without guide is meaningless. Great.
          Nefasto
          Eduardo_P, Jul 2023
          Miles de personas apiñadas e insolentemente tratadas por el personal de seguridad. No es culpa del proveedor, sino de la irresponsabilidad del Vaticano que no regula la cantidad de visitantes
