Price quality ratio was bad. Not good at all rushing trough the vatican musea without much interaction with us. I guess it had not made any difference if we booked a non-semi private tour that cost way less.

We bought the tour on gray line web site. We recived the voucher, in the voucher there we the phone and e-mail from gray line rome for us to give the adress for pick up. We called and the gray line rome Said they could not delivery the service because they dont considere valid the voucher. We callled gray line, they were closet, even thow it was 11am in rome. The gray line Roma asked for my credit card number by e-mail. And Said they World not provide the service. And that was it. I want my money back, and i want a trip with my Kids to See the Vaticano. We are católics and we are in rome for the vaticano, we bought this trip, hoping to See the vaticano, and it was a completely desastre. We came all the Way from Brasil, and got to See nothing

We had an amazing tour it took about 3 hours lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes . It was worth every cent to be able to skip the line everywhere and have all of the information about each place we were looking at . Would highly recommend

Andrea_P

I spent a lot of time researching and trying to decide what would be the best experience for me and my husband to tour the Vatican. Private or semi-private? Early morning or late afternoon? Three hours or five hours? I chose the semi-private, 2:00 pm, three hour tour. It was absolutely perfect. Perfect size in that with only 10 of us total, it was easy to keep up and stay with group. Time was perfect for sleeping in to help with jet lag and getting brunch before the tour. Length of three hours was the perfect amount of time for what my mind and body could actually absorb and endure. Our guide was outstanding. Knowledgeable, anticipated everyone’s needs and just so very kind and thorough with her history and back stories. Could not give a higher recommendation if I tried. Simply outstanding

Nicole_G

Great tour of the Vatican! You can’t go to Rome without going to the Vatican, and seeing it with a tour guide who is so knowledgeable is a must. Would definitely recommend.

Rita_H
