Self Guided Tour is the way to go - Tour directors made it easy to find them and made sure we knew where to go and what to do. Self guided tour was perfect for us. It was a very hot day and Palistine Hill's and Roman Forum ruins were just that....ruins. No signage or maps given to know what you are seeing. The view from the road behind the Victor Emmanuel II National Monument is much better!

Dario the tour saver - Dario with the Vatican tours was an absolute lifesaver. We were running late with traffic & rerouting that we were going to miss our ticket window. He came through like a hero sending us our tickets via text & even helped us navigate through everything to get us in the right place. As for the actual tour IT SUCKED. The art & sculptures were wicked awesome to see!!! But it was packed with so many people no ventilation they tried their hardest to make it bearable by placing AC & fans around but people were hoarding around them to cool down. As for the Sistine it was packed shoulder to shoulder of people admiring the ceiling. We couldn’t even really find anywhere to even stand so we had to just quickly walk through & didn’t even get to look at it. I highly recommend going NOT IN THE SUMMER

Don’t miss the Vatican. - Claudia was an amazing tour guide through a very busy Vatican! She shared so many wonderful learning opportunities for us and made sure we got to the Sistine Chapel before it closed (it was a 4:30 tour). We went onto the Basilica alone and was overwhelming and amazing! Definitely plan to hang around after the tour is done.

Great Family Experience - The tour was at an easy pace. The content shared by our guide, Pricilla, was very educational and informative. She was amazing! We enjoyed visiting both inside and outside the museums and the Sistine Chapel. Tour is a must do while in Rome!

Beautiful! - We had Christina (Chris) as our guide and she was great! Really sweet and very passionate and knowledgeable about what she was showing us. The only complaint I have was that we sped through the tour. It could have been a little longer but because there are so many people I understand why it wasn’t. Chris really was a great guide and she answered all of our questions really completely. The Vatican art is incredible and so worth seeing. Our tour ended before we entered the Sistine Chapel which was perfect as it allowed us to spend as much time as we wanted looking at Michelangelo’s stunning work. Overall a great experience.

Skip the Line is the ONLY Way to See the Vatican and Sistine Chapel - Communications with the provider were excellent until we tried to find the meeting location. Via phone calls everything finally worked out and the tour listing has since been updated with an actual address so future folks should not have an issue. Thanks! The provider gave us and others in the group an amazingly fast entry to the Vatican/Sistine Chapel complex and then handed the group over to a Vatican Museum English tour guide. So the provider is not leading the tour. We were surprised, but the Vatican guide was excellent. Even if we'd purchased 'skip the line' tickets on our own, we would not have known how to navigate the complex with the speed that Dario got us in, so it was well worth the purchase.

Tour Operator Changed Time Hours Before Tour - If I could issue a rating of “0”, I would. Our adult family (USA) of 5 had booked a 4:30 tour, as we only had 2 days in Rome, and an earlier tour on our Vatican day. The day before our tour, the tour operator messaged us, indicating a meeting time of 3:20. A later message indicated 3:15. Because we had a confirmed booking notification for 4:30, we didn’t notice the THREE:15. We arrived shortly after 4:00…for our 4:30 tour. It had left at 3:20!!!! We were astonished that the tour operator would/could do that, especially since our confirmation stated that the tour operator would not allow changes to our booking (obviously by us). Because of our earlier tour, we could have never arrived earlier for this tour! I immediately contacted aviator. We were so disappointed that we traveled 1/2 way around the world and couldn’t see the Vatican!! Viator was helpful in issuing a refund. Be very careful in booking with this tour operator-you could end up terribly disappointed in so many ways.
