Ultimate Vatican experience!! - Honestly I didn’t know what to expect because this was my first solo trip ever but I am SO glad I booked this. I had this hilarious guide from the states, (his name was Mike, book with him if you can) who kept giving us all the information without it being boring or repetitive. I ended up laughing so much, but also learnt a lot. Thanks Mike! :)

Very Good Tour - We booked Michael for 2 tours and loved both of them. We did his 2 pm St Peter's Basilica tour. These later times seem to be less crowded. Michael was a great guide. He's originally from USA, so he was very understandable, but he's lived in Rome for years and knows his Rome/Italian and Vatican history very well. He had very interesting information and stories. He also keeps his group numbers low, which we appreciated. I would recommend this tour. My niece and daughters are going to Rome soon and I've sent her Michael's link!

Mike was a fun tour... - Mike was a fun tour guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Also, we loved having a tour guide who originated in the US and relocated to Rome.

Very nice experience - Had a lovely time with tourguide Mike! He took us at the best time of day, so it was perfectly quite in the basilica. He tells the stories as if he were there, enjoy it a lot!

AVOID - DO NOT USE!!!!! We booked a Vatican Tour for the afternoon. We made contact with the office when we arrived and confirmed we were in the correct location. We had time before the tour so we went to grab a bite to eat. We got back to the office 30 mins prior to our scheduled tour and there was a padlock on the office door. We called them several times and they never answered their phone. They wasted our valuable time and ruined our chance to see the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica.
