Magnificent!

Mark_W, Apr 2024

It was all very beautiful. Probably the Sistine Chapel, absolutely stunning! Sylvia was a wonderful guide!

Scam

Dana_E, Dec 2023

DO NOT BUY THIS !!! They charge you 23euro pp for the entrance ticket, it says nowhere that it is not included. The guide was late, speaks poor English and rushed through the most interesting parts. The sound in the headset was very bad. Worst experience ever! BUY ANOTHER TICKET !!!!

Scam

Ronald_U, Dec 2023

The entire experience was soured when the tour operator you have charge you an additional 20 Euros to what we had already paid Viator. This felt like a scam and would not recommend. I'm even questioning myself if I want to use Viator in the future.

Crowds of people. Could not move.

Neill_J, Nov 2023

There were TOO MANY PEOPLE! TOO CROWED . COULDNT MOVE .I had a walker and people would not move for me .ii toured the Vatican 10 years ago and it was amazing . I had to leave the tour and never saw the chapel this time. It would never pass fire standards

Unforgetable.

Ludovic_K, Nov 2023

The service we got was on the highest level Our guide was nice, funny, friendly ,but most of all very well prepared. Thank You, Marta.

Great explanation

Laura_M, Nov 2023

Very complete! We did the full tour of 3 hours, and it was amazing! Our guide Marta was very nice, and giving a lot of info but without overwhelming and it was overall a great experience! Recommended 100%

Sad

Angela_W, Oct 2023

Our plane was delayed. I reached by chat message.. Never got a response. No phone found on site. Went to your office. With proof of delay + messages. “ sorry “ can’t help you.

Thoroughly Enjoyable and Informative

Jack_T, Oct 2023

Our Tour Guide Marta did an excellent job escorting us through the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. Her extensive knowledge of all 3 sites was impressive. Her very pleasant demeanor made our visit to the Vatican a memorable experience. Grazie Marta.

Martha. the Guide

Beck_C, Oct 2023

The tour was very informative and the guide, Martha was very friendly and very attentive to all her guest.

Fabulous Vatican tour

Hilary_r, Oct 2023

The map room at the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel ceiling were highlights. Our guide was a great storyteller and shared all kinds of interesting anecdotes.

pls mention the Ticket is not included in the list you already have.

premanandh_k, Sep 2023

I ordered this assuming this is a ticket + guided tour, but nowhere it is mentioned that this doesn't include the entry ticket. So I had to spend extra on the ticket at the meeting point.

I don’t recommend the tour

Martha_t, Jul 2023

The place is beautiful and very interesting, but the guide was walking to fast, so we couldn’t take pictures or even observed in detail the Vatican and Sistine Chapel to avoid getting lost.

Rushed

FankaDimitrov, Jul 2023

Tour did not include the actual ticket price ( you pay this additionally)and they charged us for a ticket for our son who is an EU citizen and 14 yrs old and should not have been charged for a ticket, our guide was personable, but extremely rushed throughout the experience.

No pudimos hacer la...

Mar_R, Sep 2023

No pudimos hacer la excursión ya q me confundí en el idioma . Enseguida avise x email x tour operador y telf y nadie contesto. Me fui directa a la oficina y no me dieron solución. Así que se quedaron con el dinero de 4 pers... pésimo

Déçu, et plein les yeux

Rmy_F, Aug 2023

Déçu par le musée car beaucoup trop de monde. La basilique St Pierre est magnifique . Le hic s est de se sentir léser après avoir réservé sur le site Tiquets pour les visites et qu une fois que tu va chercher tes billets, ceux-ci ne sont pas compris dans ta réservation et que tu as payé seulement la prestation d un guide qui du coup était inexistant, on a fait la visite sans... Dommage

No comprar, estafa

Isabel_S, Jul 2023

Me siento estafada con esta compra. Te hacen creer que compras un tour por los tres sitios, y solo te acompaña el guía por el Museo del Vaticano. Donde además el guía, Giovanni, va a toda velocidad por el museo, no te deja ver las cosas ni si quiera pudimos sacarnos fotos. Además la compra de esto que te venden como tour de los tres sitios, no incluye la entrada a los mismos, sino que te lo dicen allí para que las pagues sobre la marcha. NO REPETIRÍA con esta compañía.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

que la entrada no estava incluyda en el producto que usted reservò es una informaccion que se encuentra en la pagina online antes de comprar....sino seria un robo y las ventas online en este sitio web no lo puede permitir. Les aconsejo de leer las informaciones de lo que esta reservando antes de reservar y dar la culpa a quien simplemente hizo su trabajo...
