This was the second time i took this tour this year, the driver we had this time was horrible. Impatient and didn’t spend time talking to us and explaining what we were about to see. Not friendly at all. I think retraining is important for that driver.
Stefano was wonderful! He really allowed us to customize our experience. He was wonderful in keeping in contact with us. He gave us interesting tidbits About things we saw. I highly recommend him

Luca was great. He picked us up at hotel and drove us from basilica to basilica. Along the way providing some history for each stop. We walked in and around on our own. The transportation between each basilica and drop off at St. Peters, which enable us to go through the doors there via a 2pm reservation, worked very well. We made it through all four jubilee holy doors all across the city in just over 4 hours. Thank you, Luca!

Our driver, Fabio, was friendly. However due to circumstances we were only able to see one of the Holy Doors of the tour. It was so crowded that the 20 minutes allotted per stop was not enough time to navigate the lines. He did offer us the alternative to go to Villa Borghese which was well worth it.

The first thing to be clear about is this tour is transport between the sites being visited. You are not guided around the churches. We knew this, but reading the reviews there seems to have been some confusion. It is certainly the easiest way to get to all the locations. Our driver Fabio was friendly and helpful. His fun personality made the travel between the sites more entertaining. Fabio was knowledgeable about the basilicas we were visiting giving us good insights and dropping us off at the doorstep of each. Unlike the tour description we did not have our own allocated times for going through the holy doors, but had to queue with everyone else. That said we got through each quite quickly and for us had enough time in each church. Overall we felt it was a good tour.

It was good or they think it may have had more explanations. The transport was excellent, and the guy is very good, but I insist the explanations were scarce.

We expected a private guided tour with him accompanying us into the 3 churches, but he just gave us minimal descriptions of the churches on the way to each. He just dropped us off told us where to go & picked us up. He never offered us any bottled water dropped us off at St Peter’s with a QR code that did not work I had to go register showing passports Your description of this tour was very vague We called customer service who also advised this was a guided tour including a small group Very disappointed
We are surprised about the review since the aim of the tour is walking through the holy doors during the Jubilee Year. You first said you were expecting a Private Tour and then at the end you said you were expecting a small group (small group it means sharing tour). So probably you were looking many tour advertising and confused the tours. Our tour is a private tour with private driver at your service all the time to let your cross the holy doors in just a few hours.
