Informed - Tour guide was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend. I learned things about Michelangelo that I didn’t know that were very interesting.

Very good experience - Great experience. We covered a lot in just 3 hours. This could have been a bit longer, because there is so much to see and appreciate here. Our tour guide was excellent and knew all the little details.

Milica, our tour guide, was excellent, a great source of information, and made it feel special. - We did the first tour of the day on a Tuesday in early June, and by the time we were an hour in, it was packed. Our tour guide Milica was excellent, though, and made it feel as if we were in our own bubbled group. Her command of the Vatican's history, cultural significance and the detail she provided regarding the many significant works of art we saw were truly impressive. She was entertaining and engaging. Good vibes all around.

Vatican tour a success. - The tour guide Melica was wonderful. She was informative, organized and made the experience pleasant. The Vatican can be very crowded but we always knew how to find our guide within a sea of people.

Elizabeta was a fabulous and knowledgeable guide - The Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s basilica both exceeded our expectations, despite the crowds ++++ on a weekday.

Interesting Vatican Tour - Being in St Peter's Basilica was a stunning experience. It is the most awe inspiring cathedral. The guide was very good at moving the whole group along. She knew the facts and she communicated a huge amount of information. There were quite a few people around. However according to the guide, the Sistine Chappel was half empty. I was certainly happy we took the early morning tour and did not get crushed by the crowds.

Not recommended for people with kids - Too many people, have to walk fast so that so that it will not queue up. I don’t recommend to families with children or people who don’t like arts and religion.

Vatican Museum - The guide was very knowledgeable but wasted a lot of time stopping and explaining things more than once. We should have seen a lot more of the Vatican Museum but ran out of time.

DO NOT DO A TOUR WITH THIS COMPANY - DO NOT BOOK ANY TOUR WITH THIS COMPANY. I had my worst experience in Rome with this tour. When you go inside the museum it’s like tour guide is in a race with the other tour guides on who could finish the fastest. She was speeding through all stuff inside the museum just zooming through The tour guide was told multiple times to speak up and she just said turn up your volume on your headpiece. (You’re given a headset) She warned us not to get lost but I guess the reason she said it is because it happens too often. She had a terrible accent and could barely speak in English. So speaking low and with an accent is a horrible combination I asked her please slow down I really wanna see all the stuff there’s so much beautiful things to look at and too top it all off. I DID GET LOST. I called the company and they said they couldn’t do anything about it. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. IF YOURE READING THIS I WANT MY MONEY BACK ILL BE POSTING THIS ON ALL PLATFORMS NEGATIVE ONE MILLION STARS!!! Tour guide did not care about 1. Her volume level in talking about the tour 2. How fast she was just going through everything when there’s so much see 3. Barely can understand what she’s saying
