Our guide was absolutely wonderful. He gave us a great explanation of everything we saw. It was very thorough. It was a solid 2+ hours on our feet mostly walking and he went at a comfortable pace. We saw all of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. I do not recommend this or any tour of The Vatican for families with very young children or if you’re unable to walk well or climb stairs. The tour was all that I hoped it would be.

The meeting place staff were very unorganized and rude. The changed our tour time 1/2 hr earlier without us knowing so it added some confusion. The guide herself was very nice. She would get 5 stars alone.

The 5:30pm tour was fantastic but what made it outstanding was our guide Irene. Not only was she remarkably well informed and we all learned so much, but afterward we asked for a dinner recommendation that was absolutely wonderful. Thank you!

Our guide Josephine was really great. She was so knowledgeable. Her greatest skill was getting 10 people maneuvered in and out of the crowds to get the best view of everything. We had the first tour of the day (8:00) and even then it was crazy crowded. The Skip the Line ticket is a must. It was disappointing not to enter the Basilica but we knew it might not be feasible on Wednesdays. Certainly no fault of Viator.

Daniela was a wonderfully knowledgeable and humorous guide - we learnt lots and there was never a dull moment!😃

The chapel ceiling was amazing and the size and grandeur of the basilica was much more impressive than I expected

Jean_S

Massimo was a great, very knowledgeable and interesting guide. It was wonderful not to have to stand in the other (non-guided tourist) lines, and we got to see a lot.

STEPHEN_R

Rome is crowded. This small group guided tour was the best. Guide was well informed, spoke excellent English, and was an excellent guide.
