Fabulous experience in The Vatican. - The guide we ha (Roberto) was fantastic. He brought the museums to life. Very impressed also with the agency who advised how we could visit The Basilica without coming back to pay more for a tour. The WHOLE experience was absolutely first rate. Mind you, the setting does help. L

Little more guidance needed - The tour guide was very knowledgeable however st the end of the tour she abruptly ended the tour and left some of our family in the middle of St. Peter’s square without explanation they should go up to St. Peter’s basilica . Others who had some mobility issues were ushered in another direction again with no idea where they were headed. It was a bit odd. We enjoyed seeing all we saw. It was amazing.

Disorganized Tour - Although the tour we signed up for said it was the "English speaking tour", there were others in our group that spoke 2 different languages for which the tour guide accomodated which meant every statment was repeated in three languages, often in a speedy thick Italian accent. Unfortunately, we felt as though we understood about 5-10% of what was being relayed. We also started late as they seemed to be pulling people that they were selling to from the street. In addition, we arrived at our tour time only to be told that they sent us a message that our tour had been delayed one hour (we never received any message) so had to mill around for an hour waiting - it completely messed up our plans for the rest of the day. The "skip the line" at the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel was nice but then we were left wondering where we were supposed to go in to the Basilica (he told us one set of instrucions that did not seem to exist), which was very frustrating.

Delayed over 1.5 hours - This partner of viator held us over about 1.5 hour to start tour. 3 people did not arrive because of delayed traffic. As well we’re were over 15 minutes late for tour group entry so had to get on the line for skip the line. not that I do not believe that we hold up old up 5-10 minutes for some slightly delayed people. But held up 16 for of us for these 3. Then once in they arrived had to bathroom and tour continued to delay. Vatican museum tour was then rushed to move thru sites. Basically 11:45am tour time did not end till after 3pm and did not have any Vatican time yet. But expected to be 2.5 hours turned into full day and little time for Vatican.

The most disorganized... - The most disorganized tour I have ever taken. The tour started an hour and a half late. They overbooked and had to put us with another group that wasn’t in our language. The tour guide was great and did everything he could to make it up, speaking dual languages to accommodate us! But the tour company itself was too disorganized and too expensive for what we got.
