The tour company had a person meet me. Provided a choice of drinks at store and guided me into Vatican. The tour guide was knowledgeable an interesting. The whole tour was spectacular!
Prefacing this review to say - out of our entire Italy trip, this is the only rating I’ve given less than 5 stars. We are very go with the flow people, however, this tour was not a great experience. Firstly, they suddenly changed our entry time from 10am to 11am the night before. (Then when we finally got our tickets it was for 11:30am.) The communication was very poor, we were confused as we got the initial information that said to meet behind the entrance and that the pdf they attached would get us through the entry gate. They said if we didn’t get tickets to message them or call. I messaged and called and was left even more confused and with only the tour ticket. They finally asked us to meet in front of a cafe. We had been given incorrect information. We needed to meet before the entrance across the street. Then we were passed to a lady organizing tour groups. Then we were finally passed to the actual tour guide who was not with the organization putting this tour together. She was a 3rd party. We had a rushed tour because 3 people ended up dropping out and we spent 20 min of the time waiting for them and did not get to see much on the tour. (What we saw were sculptures, tapestries, maps and the Sistine chapel) Very disappointed in this experience and would definitely recommend paying a bit more for a reputable tour group like show me Italy or city wonders instead.
Excellent visit, very good official guides.
¡Muchas gracias por tu excelente comentario! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste la visita y que nuestros guías oficiales hicieron una gran labor. Esperamos darte la bienvenida nuevamente muy pronto 😊
I asked for a guide in French, I was told it was this or nothing, so totally zero, cordially FA.
The guide helped us to get the tickets and get in the right line. Definitely worth the ‘skip the line’ as folks waited in line for hours to get into the museum. Once in, the guide around the museum was an official Vatican guide.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re really glad to hear the guide helped make your visit smooth and stress-free, especially with the skip-the-line access. It’s great that you could avoid the long waits and fully enjoy your time inside the museum with an official Vatican guide. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to assist you again on your future travels!
It was really pleasant to participate in this tour.
Thank you very much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you had a pleasant experience on the tour. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again for another wonderful visit in the future. 😊
Experience was excellent! Misbah from the tour company was extremely responsive and helpful with answering questions pre trip. It’s important to ask those questions beforehand. It’s chaos at the entry point with 3 lines that all meld together. Misbah was there to help navigate and even provided a sit down meetup coffee beforehand. Let’s be clear though. This is just the guided tour you can buy online direct from Vatican for 40 euro. But you’re paying for peace of mind and hand holding. Without this there’s a decent chance you miss your tour altogether due to missed entry point or waiting too long in the wrong line. Do you want to risk it? Not me. Well worth the upcharge.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful feedback! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had an excellent experience and that Misbah was able to support you so well before and during your visit. As you mentioned, the entry process can be quite overwhelming — especially at the Vatican Museums — so having someone there to guide you, answer questions in advance, and even meet for a coffee beforehand can truly make a difference. We completely agree that while the guided tour itself may be available directly, the added peace of mind, clear meeting arrangements, and personal assistance are what many of our guests value most. Your perspective highlights exactly why we do what we do. Thank you again for your kind words and for trusting us with your experience. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future!
Our tour guide was wonderful. he was so knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. he also knew when to just let us “be” in the moment. We learned so much! We had a great experience! Wonderful
That’s so lovely to hear! 😊 It sounds like your guide truly made the experience special. A knowledgeable guide who is happy to answer questions — and also understands when to step back and let you simply take in the beauty and atmosphere — makes all the difference, especially in a place as meaningful as St. Peter’s Basilica. I’m so glad you had such a rich, memorable experience and were able to both learn so much and enjoy those quiet, powerful moments. Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback! ✨
Our guide made it easy! I recommend
