Highly recommended tour company ! - Inside Out Italy was a fantastic experience overall and I would have no hesitation in using them again. From the first contact in their office just in front of the Vatican entrance to the end of our guided tour in the Basillica three hours later - we found them very well organised, courteous and welcoming. We booked for the full Vatican guided tour and the tour guide Julia was fantastic, a professor in Theology and 25 years a tour guide in Roma. Lovely lady with a great sense of humour in both Italian and English ! Highly recommend this company !

Highly recommended tour - Full guided tour by Letizia, a very nice and friendly Italian lady who told us the story of each place we enjoyed. It was a pleasure and a real luck to enjoy your knowledge and how to share it. Highly recommended.

Thanks to Andrea!! Obrigada!! - I had an unforgettable experience visiting the Vatican Museum, all thanks to the amazing service provided by the agency! Andrea, was absolutely fantastic—friendly, kind, and very knowledgeable. As a Brazilian native, I was thrilled that Andrea explained everything in Portuguese, making me feel safe. Plus, his warm and approachable personality made the tour even more special. If you're looking for a professional and personable guide who can tailor the experience to your needs, I can't recommend this agency enough! Obrigada, Andrea, for making this visit so memorable!

Opinion of my visit - Excellent service but I would have liked more time to be invested in the visit and to be able to visit more rooms since more iconic rooms were not seen.

Scam provider - AVOID & find a proper operator - Turned up on time. Nobody else there for the tour and we were told that the guide was sick but would be OK for an hour later - obviously untrue! Turned up an hour later - lots of people waiting for a tour but were were the only English-speakers, so were taken around the corner and dropped onto someone else's tour. Guide was excellent but we were rushed through as St Peter's closed at 12:30, so we had way less than 2 hours 'on site' and probably only 1 hour with the guide, as he sent us into St. Peter's at 12:00.

Disappointed - We booked tickets for 11:30 on arrival at 11:15 to pick the tickets up so we can enjoy our sightseeing in the Vatican we have been told that we need to wait till 12:00 as the Vatican told them that we specifically need to to wait. So better wait on the free que as this is pointless. We still wait more than an hour to get in. 85£ not worth it at all.

Worst Tour EVER - Guide was 45 minutes late, and was very rude to everyone in the group, including a mother with an infant in a stroller. Absolute terrible experience!!! Never saw Basilica, as we were running so late. This was like a cattle drive and completely unacceptable. Worst tour I have ever taken in my life. And especially disappointing, since it was the Vatican.
