This tour don’t go inside the museum an hour earlier
Sue_P, May 2024
Our guide Barbara was so enthusiastic about Sistine chapel and Michelangelo I learned so much from her. She was great. But the problem was the company which they described this tour as early morning tour before the crowds that starts at 7 am. Vatican Museum open at 8 am so I thought our tour guide will take us inside the museum right after 7 am before 8 am crowd comes in, but that was not the case. The tour guide explained about St. Peter’s basilica and the pope at the St Peter square for 45 minutes then started walking toward the Vatican Museum and our ticket was for 8 am entry to the museum, not early morning tour that avoids crowds. Their description on Viator website is so misleading to say the least. I was so upset. There is a tour that goes inside the museum an hour earlier than opening hour, so if you want that tour, you should look for it somewhere else.
Guide is essential to maximum enjoyment
Robert_T, Apr 2022
Very informative and well worth the cost. Having a guide to navigate through the maze of pre-entry requirements, and providing valuable insights during the tour is most beneficial. The Vatican is always full of wandering tourists. Our guide was especially helpful in pointing out features not ordinarily identified.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We look forward to welcoming you in the near future in Rome. Best regards! Luca

La qualité de l'animatrice de la visite guidée ainsi que le plaisir de ne pas attendre en ligne et éviter des heures perdues est la raison que le prix du forfait vaut vraiment la peine.
