been able to see all the history. love culture, painting etc. Also to see how it is presented to us, would have been nice to see the pope but I guest there is a next time

Touring the Vatican Museum, along with the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica, was a captivating journey, deserving a 4 out of 5 rating. The museum visit was necessarily swift given the extensive array of exhibits to be seen. Overcrowding within the Vatican detracted slightly from the experience, leading to some inevitable shoving, though no fault lies with the guide who was outstanding. Her expertise and engaging interactions were highlights of the tour. Although the price felt a bit steep, the overall experience was immensely enjoyable and memorable.

Despite the confusing fact (and not very clear in the description) that this tour does not include the entry tickets and need to be paid at registration, the tour itself is very good. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and even with the massive crowds she kept the group together. She took the time to explain in detail what we were going to see and what to look for. Her passion was evident. I enjoyed the experience.

Our guide was very nice and helpful as were the agents who checked us in. The problem we had was that Viator sold us a tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel that did not include tickets into the Vatican and Sistine Chapel! When I called, we were told too bad even though I tried to explain that we couldn’t possibly go on the tour they sold us unless the tour included tickets. The agent pretended she couldn’t hear me (after I explained) and hung up on me. I suggest you get your tickets from someone else who is not misleading and who will provide customer assistance!

Our guide called in last-minute saying he was in an accident. The staff did not have a replacement guide, but did they did handle the tickets and express entry for us and arranged a refund for the missed tour.

Very good guide, well explained. Excellent tour of Vatican Museums. Could not find back our tour guide 7 group after coming out of Sisten Chapel and hence missed tour of St. Peter's Basilica :(

natalie_b

The tour was too big- group was excitement large. Hard to keep up with the tour guide in the packed museum. Would book a private tour to avoid the giant group. Somewhat disorganized. Started late and then waited for tickets in a line. Then another line for headsets. Should be streamlined.

Robert_C

Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable but the listening devices were failing half the time and I could not hear what she was saying. Also… how about a warning on the dress code for the Sistine Chapel?

Brent_B

Too rushed, too many people in group, often out of distance from ear piece transmission, more was discussed about staying together and logistics than what we were actually seeing. Would have loved more time to listen to the history and appreciate what we were seeing. Instead was fire hose of info in a Chinese fire drill. Better a recording at your own pace

Vicki_Y

Informative and entertaining. Our guide made sure we all stayed together and explained the history to the various art pieces.
