Awesome tour! - Going to the Vatican, Sistine chapel, and St. Peter’s is a must do. Our tour guide helped us by pointing out the super important details so we were focused when seeing the big picture. One could spend hours, even days in each of these, but the tour guide really pointed out what things to look for and the important things. We did not feel too rushed even though we did go by a lot of things. There is just so much to see!

Superb! Thank you David! - Amazing experience to see the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel together with such a knowledgable guide as David. Would not have been remotely the same experience without David’s information and attention to detail. Loved it!

Worst tour guide ever! - I hired this tour via my hotel. It was to be uner 10 persons, but there were 11 or 12. The tour guide from the beginning had a poor attitude. She was annoyed as there were so many guests for which English was not their primary language. The paying guests were not complaining! She always walked far ahead in the crowded Vatican and recited her verbiage that we could have purchased from a book. ...but it gets worse. In the Cistene Chapel she just walk ahead not paying attention where were her psying guests. AND she left an 80 year old Asian, limited English speaking women behind. This old lady was lost and panicked and did not know what to do. This guide did not even backtrack to find her..so I spent the next 1.5 hour 'babysitting' an 80 year old to find her family. Her pathetic excuse." There were other paying customers ". Happily I found her family at the Vatican exit. The tour guide had already left the Vatican! I complained to the Tour Company as I wanted my money refunded. However, they just said this tour guide felt bad and was crying, but how about the 80 year old anxious and crying old lady? I would NEVER use or recommend this guide again, or this Tour company. I advised Hotel Baglioni Roma too as to what an uncaring, unprofessional rip-off vendor. There is no possible excuse. JMR
