Vatican tour - We booked this tour before we came to Rome. We were very impressed with the service from Sean he went the extra mile with giving us recommendations for bars and places to eat. Our tour guide Dina was amazing. We ended up getting a private tour. Great being able to skip the queue and Dinas knowledge was second to none . The tour was very informative and she even took pictures of us. Exceptional service and would highly recommend. Highlight of our trip.

Perfect tour! - Incredible tour! Our guide shared so much interesting information. The Vatican Museum would be daunting without a guide. He showed us all the great highlights, answered all our questions (and my teenage son who loves History asked a lot!), and was extremely friendly and engaging the entire tour. My family learned a lot and had fun doing so! Highly recommend!

Wonderful Guide and experience - Absolutely fantastic!! Highly recommend!!! Our tour guide was lovely and very well informed. Vatican was empty because of the virus. Felt very safe and loved every minute of it!

Wonderful! - Totally recommend booking through Viator. We’ve used them several times before and have had only good experiences. With so many visitors no matter what time of year you go, the skip the line tour is certainly worth it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and super nice! Unfortunately we don’t remember her name but it really was a great tour!!

Excellent tour and tour guide! - Our tour guide Eddy (with a "y") was amazing! He was fun and knowledgeable. The company itself was so helpful, as we were running late due to a delayed train, and they waited a few extra minutes so we could meet them at the entrance (luckily we had a small, understanding group). Eddy told us little things that we wouldn't have noticed if we did the tour on our own. He made the tour fun and I wish he could have showed us all of Rome! I would definitely use this company again for booking a tour.

Top notch tour done right - Our guide was very knowledgeable and she made us feel good throughout the trip. The coordinator stayed in communication with us until the meetup was successful.

The best way to see the Vatican is with Guido! - My friends and I heard about this tour from "Rome Free Walking Tour". We received a nice discounted voucher that we were able to apply. They were very helpful and accommodating, since we have booked the 3:00 tour very late. I totally recommend on joining this tour because you get to see all of the attractions in the Vatican and get to skip the line. Our tour guide Guido was really informative and made the trip fun. Even though you have bought the skip-the-line option, you might still end up waiting since you will need to go through security, which is pretty standard and out of the tour's control.

Skip the skip line Vatican tour - Dozens of tours are all skip the line. Too much to do in just a few hours. Guide was hard to understand. Not worth the money.

Val P - Too busy, disorganised and very disappointing. We went to see the beautiful painted ceiling in the Sistine Chapel. Beautiful it is but after a long trek round the museums to get there it was so busy we were quickly ushered out to make room for all the others. Couldn't really take it all in. Not suitable for anyone with poor mobility as there are very few places to sit and rest. Avoid the gelateria directly outside - very expensive. In fact the whole experience not worth the money.
