Guided tour in French with Marco - Vatican Museum + Sistine Chapel - We took the guided tour with MARCO in French. It was a very interesting visit. Marco is a passionate with a pretty impressive culture I have to say. He is kind, attentive, available, very friendly. He was able to take us totally on the tour. Thank you to him for this great moment of sharing, explanations.

Fantastic - Valentina was amazing. She knows Roman history inside and out, and wove it into wonderful, rich and detailed stories. She paced the tour to match the group. The small group size was perfect.

Need to provide more specific information - I read the info several times before reserving our tickets but did not comprehend how the tour would work until standing at the ticket office in Rome and getting direct answers to my questions

Need clear instructions - We never found the tour guide “in line 3” so we paid a lot for entrance and ended up doing tour on our own. So was it worth it? No. They were probably overwhelmed by the number of visitors in Rome. End of September is not a shoulder season any more.

Not good. - After booking with Trip Advisor, within a few hours I was advised that there were no tickets available . My order had been cancelled and the charge was returned. I was not pleased, especially as I immediately booked with another company, that offered a quicker way of entry and was significantly less expensive.

Scam. Save Yourself $40/person by following these directions - Full scam. We paid $145 and showed up to the office. They had printed tickets that they handed to us and motioned to the vatican. Nobody was there to escort us or help us past any lines, etc. The “line” was to purchase tickets at the gate. You can skip that line by going to the vatican museum website and purchasing online tickets for $25/pp. We still had to wait in the line to scan our tickets. Once inside the vatican was amazing but we were scammed out of $90 total by purchasing from viator. The listing promised to have someone there to escort us to the vatican and get us through the line but that did not happen. We received our printed tickets (that we could have printed and purchased ourselves) and then walked there ourselves. Scam.
