Well the tour did not give good instructions on meeting place after the sisten chapel. She lost half her group and had no way of getting in touch with us. We were suppose to go to the basilica but didn’t cause she just continued with only half her group. She was more worried about getting the radio back then making sure we got the full experience we paid for.

A mere nightmare. We had booked a late afternoon tour. The day before I received several phone calls, that the tour was rescheduled to the afternoon. I asked for an email, as I was on the road, but never received it. I had to follow up in several ways to learn that the timing and meeting point changed, never confirmed in the app it via a message. The 14:00 was just a nightmare. 40min just passed on whilst waiting to get inside, the tickets and audio guides. Followed then by moving with crowds, listening to a guide telling unstructured stories to things which were not to see. The guide just continued the talking, with no way of asking her things, as she was somewhere in the crowds. A complete waste of money.

We turned up to our meeting point early and waited and no-one turned up. Checked my phone, no messages. I went to the other tour guides and checked with them that I was in the right place and they confirmed that I was. I went into the app and contacted the tour operator but it was too late. They simply said that they had an electric blackout and their office is no accessible. They also said they had tried to call my phone but I had no messaged from them. It was the last tour for the day so I had to pay for another tour. When I asked for a refund they refused so I went through Viator. They simply came back to me and said "sorry we are unable to provide you with a refund" and not explanation at all. The whole experience was so disappointing and no customer service at all!!!!

Late leaving. No place to wait/overcrowded tour. Operators were disorganized and we had to go with them while they exchanged tickets- in the lines we were supposed to skip. Guide didn’t speak into his microphone so many had trouble hearing. The tour was very rushed as we hadn’t been told that the Sistine chapel would close and had to hurry through museum to get there. We spent about 10 minutes in the Sistine chapel and the guide disappeared- not found on other side where he was supposed to facilitate access to the basilica. We spent close to $400 for an experience that we could have done ourselves for less than $100.

Too many people in the group. The pace was too fast, and even though our guide was knowledgeable she didn’t have time to answer any questions

This tour was such a scum. I paid almost $90 per ticket. It was supposed to be 3 hours tour. It was in and out experience. The tour was scheduled for 3:15. It was almost 3:30 when the person who took us to our tour guide showed up. It was run through the museum and before we went to the Sistine Chapel our tour vise took our headphones and said good bye. We were finished and out at 5:15. So it was not even 2 hours.

We had a fantastic time! Our tour guide was wonderful, she lead us thru telling us great stories especially the one about the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel. Such a good experience would highly recommend.

Brilliant tour with an excellent experienced Roman tour guide. She made sure the kids were included throughout the tour, we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

There was no sign for the company. I had to call the company to find out that I needed to go into another company’s office. The “wrangler” had us stand in the sun waiting for a guide who was late. It was unorganized, no one explained what was happening. The original wrangler handed us off to another wrangler who didn’t explain anything either. We got into the museum after 4pm and our tour was for 3pm with entry at 3:30. We didn’t even attempt to go inside where they still needed to buy tickets until 4pm. We left the tour early and still didn’t make it in time to see the Basilica.
