Fantastic - Our guide, Luca, was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive to details and very interesting! We were family of four with 2 teenagers and he made the tour very interesting! Not only we skipped long lines, but also learned so much about the history and art! Highly recommend this tour!

A must do in Rome - The skip the line small group tour of the Vatican and St Peter’s was our favorite tour during our stay in Rome. Our tour guide Debora made it interesting even for our two teenage nieces. Definitely add this to your list of things to do in Rome.

Best tour of our trip! - We had the most wonderful time on this tour. The guide was engaging, informative and funny. She knew absolutely everything that she was asked and provided the information to us in such an entertaining and informative way. The museums and Sistine Chapel are absolutely stunning and we are so glad that we took this tour because we would have otherwise lost out on so much.

Fascinating Tour - This tour of the Vatican Museums with Show Me Italy was the best experience of our holiday in Rome. We have waited for years to visit the Vatican and this tour exceeded all of our expectations. It was so well organised, the group was small and the tour guide was wonderful. We did not have to wait in any long lines and we walked through the Museums at an easy pace. The guide was fantastic and really brought everything to life for us. We would have been clueless on our own and would not have had even half of the wonderful experience that we had.

A wonderful day - This tour was our favorite thing that we did on our Roman holiday. The group was small and the guide was great. She spoke perfect English and we could understand her very well. She was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The meeting point was easy to arrive to and the check in process was seamless. After a short walk to the entrance we bypassed the ticket lines and headed straight inside. The journey through the museums was wonderful and the Sistine chapel was stunning. The guide really made the experience for us because the information brought everything to life. We also had a lot of fun. It was a very enjoyable time and well worth the money.

Great tour - Fantastic tour. Highly recommend it. We had a lot of fun and learned a great deal. The guide was really good. The museums are big and there is a lot to see so it was great to have the direction of the guide, or else we would have been lost.

Worth it if you can’t get tickets from official website - Buying from them was worth it, as/if/when the tickets from the official Vatican website are sold out. I didn’t want to miss the Vatican Museums, so I had to book through other providers, and this one was the cheapest on the day I was looking at. The price was a bit steep compared to the ones on the Musei Vaticani website, but acceptable

Too much rush, unpunctual guide - Our guide arrived late, which meant that we then had to rush to get to the sites at the agreed time. Between that, and the amount of people in the Coliseum, sometimes it was difficult to follow the guide, he got lost on the bus, and some older people had a hard time keeping up. Otherwise, we learned interesting things and the tour as such was good

You cancelled are tour without telling us - You canceled our tour to the Sistine chapel and the Vatican museum and we’re only in Rome for one day so I really appreciate that and thanks for emailing us and telling us you were going to do that you didn’t, the guide that was there was freaking out. He was also mad and did not know how to handle the situation.
