Quick Entry, Deep Cultural Dive - Exploring the Vatican alone can be exheusting. This guided tour solved everything. We skipped the line and were led through key galleries efficiently. Our guide expleined the meaning behind the art and architecture, giving it all new life. A great way to make the most of limited time in Rome.

Fast Entry, Rich Art Journey - This tour helped us beat the chaos and focus on what really matters—art and history. The fast-track ticket saved tons of time. The guide was brilliant, walking us through highlights of the Vatican Museums and giving valuable context we would have missed. A well-paced, informative experience. We saw a lot without feeling rushed.

Art Scholars Tour - Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about art and particularly Vatican art. She offered perspectives that were extremely appreciated by someone who loves art.

Great tour and tourguide! - Great tour with a great tour guide! I missed her name. (she uses a Minnie Mouse cloth as a flag) She was so knowledgable of all of the history here and she kept us entertained with her anecdotes. The tour had so much information and there was so much to see.

Wonderful Vatican - We enjoyed our tour of Vatican City. Our guide was wonderful and very informative.
Our small group gave us the opportunity to get a more personalized tour.

Sistine chapel and St. Peter’s basilica are beautiful and must see. - We found the host agency employees / coordinators on the initial arrival at the meeting point to be a little confused and unorganized. They appeared to have too many tours scheduled and not enough guides ready to go. Once that all was worked out, the tour overall was pretty good. Our tour guide was good, but maybe a little too lengthy on explanations on certain spots at the Vatican museum, etc. Sophie was very knowledgeable and appears to love her job. She is enthusiastic and wants to share so much with you, but with 20 people in the tour and hundreds of other tours going on at the same time, the tour moved a little slow and too lengthy on explanations at times. 4 stars!

Wouldn’t book again - The building you meet at felt odd, like I thought it was a currency exchange place with the ATM out front. Then for the tour, we just had a bleh time. He took us to the museum but then left before the sistene chapel. He did tell us where to go for the basilica, but I think next time I’ll look for a tour guide for that experience as well, as I saw others in the basilica with their tour guides. Maybe it’s personal preference but I prefer when a tour guide gives us a ton of facts, especially during the waiting times. Other than that, the tour guide was very nice and very knowledgeable when telling stories. He was also very kind to everyone in the group and was easy to understand.

Agony - Although very hot as well as a very busy day our guide did not seem to consider how uncomfortable it was. Never asked if anyone needed water or needed the restrooms. Just went through her tuned out routine.

Don’t do this - I’ve done many Viator tours. This was the worst and was misrepresented. Didn’t even include St. Peter’s or the square.

Very slow tour guide - We were brought to the Vatican by someone who was not our tour guide and handed off to an elderly man on crutches. He said he uses them to skip the long line but he in fact needed them. We explained to him that we only had 1 afternoon in Rome, so after an hour of our tour and seeing almost nothing we parted ways to continue the tour ourselves. We still tipped the man for his time and he was just rude. I paid over $300 for this experience. It may have been a fantastic tour if we had a different guide.
