After signing up and paying for this tour in April 2023 we were informed the day before the tour scheduled for October 27th that the tour was no longer available. Viator, you dropped the ball on this one.

We did not get to do the night tour but we did do the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel Tour with Daniale on Christmas Eve and he was amazing! He was so knowledgeable, above and beyond! My husband and I asked lots of questions and he had so much great interesting information. Far beyond exceeded my expectation, was kind and didnt mind if we took our time or requested to speed up or slow down.
