Had to go wait 1 hr and 15mins for hen tour to start, meeting point was at the agency, which was basically phishing tourists out of the Vatican Line selling them on the skip the line and building up groups before . Listen, do you skip the line - YES - that’s the only value here, everything else was sketchy. Our guide told the group the bacilica was closed so we could not access it, yet later that afternoon, we noticed a whole line at St. Peter’s squares to access the basilica, I asked security and they said it was open…. We did not receive the service we paid for. Specially after paying $100 per person. Very dissatisfied
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. Regarding the waiting time, our tours operate on a strict schedule coordinated with Vatican entry slots. Delays can occasionally occur due to security procedures, crowd control, or late arrivals within the group, but we understand how frustrating this can be and are working to improve our organization at the meeting point. As for the skip-the-line service, we’re glad you were able to benefit from expedited entry, which is a key feature of this tour, especially during peak periods. Concerning access to St. Peter’s Basilica, please note that entry is subject to last-minute closures or restrictions imposed by Vatican authorities, often without prior notice. While it may have reopened later in the day, at the time of our tour the guide communicated the information available to ensure the group experience remained on schedule. We regret that you felt the service did not match the price paid. Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with our team to improve communication and overall tour management. Thank you again for your comments.
We went on a special tour of the Vatican with Andrea Stoller, professional tour guide. Her passion and understanding of the history of the pieces and their origins were unbelievable, positively fascinating and exquisite. We learned so much from her and are extremely grateful for the private curated experience. Could not have asked for more on our Vatican Tour. We highly suggest Andrea as a tour guide for Rome and the Vatican.

The Vatican's grandeur and history were hard to fully appreciate due to the dense crowds. In spite of this, the guide made an effort to go around the crowds and offer enlightening remarks as he went. I was overcome with amazement and surprise at the scope of the Vatican's riches as we moved through the many galleries and chapels. It really is a spot that needs to be visited several times in order to be completely appreciated.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear that you had an amazing experience despite the crowds. The Vatican’s grandeur and history truly are overwhelming, and it’s great to know that our guide helped you navigate through and provided insightful commentary. We couldn’t agree more—it’s a place that offers something new every time you visit! We appreciate your kind words and hope you’ll return for another unforgettable experience. Best regards, Alex
Our tour guide was very informed and gave us interesting background information on the significance and history of every place we saw. The smaller group size made for a more customised experience, and the ability to skip the line changed everything by saving us a significant amount of time. All in all, it was an amazing and enlightening event that I will treasure for a long time.

Tour part of it was beautiful. But redeeming tickets was horrible ,people setting up times and such were not being helpful and were very stubborn not wanting to read my booking saying I only had 1 ticket while I had 2 and had called day before to make sure what time we had to go and they told us to come back at 5:30pm while our times to go were between 10-1 until they finally chose to actually listen to us and realized they were wrong
Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration you experienced. We deeply regret the confusion and miscommunication regarding your ticket and timing. It’s certainly not the experience we want for our guests, and we understand how upsetting it must have been to go through that inconvenience. We truly appreciate your patience and are glad that the issue was eventually resolved. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we will address this matter to ensure better service in the future. We’re happy you were able to enjoy the tour itself, and we hope to provide you with a smoother experience next time. Best regards, Alex
Actually it hasn’t started good because although our booking was for 12:00 they said they don’t have english tour at that time. We could manage to find a group for 13:30. Tour guide was very kind, helpful and wise.
Thank you for your feedback, and we appreciate your kind words about the tour guide! We apologize for the confusion regarding the English tour timing. Unfortunately, there was an issue with availability, but we’re glad you were able to join the 13:30 group. We’re happy to hear that the guide was able to make your experience enjoyable despite the initial inconvenience. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again for an even smoother experience in the future! Best regards, Alex
They were very accommodating and it was a great experience! There was a little hiccup where Viator booked us on the Spanish speaking tour, but the nice gentlemen at the office in Rome fixed the issue so we could switch to the English speaking tour. We will use Viator and 7 Stars Tours again.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great experience and that our team was able to resolve the language issue promptly. We always strive to provide a smooth and enjoyable experience for our guests, and we appreciate your understanding. We look forward to welcoming you again for your future tours with Viator and 7 Stars Tours. Best regards, Alex
The tickets were terribly expensive, no VIP entrance and no possibility to see the Vatican gardens. The hour of entry was different than on the ticket, a few hours later. The place where tickets are picked up is some kind of tragic hollow, where they ignore people and make eternity wait.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. Ticket prices are set based on availability and demand, and while skip-the-line access is included, VIP entry and Vatican Gardens access are not part of the standard ticket. We understand the frustration with the delayed entry time and the wait at the ticket pickup location, and we apologize for any inconvenience this caused. Your feedback is valuable, and we will work on improving the organization of the ticket collection process. Best regards, Alex
What you actually cover is fine and if a different tour guide maybe it would be ok as eavesdropping on other groups they were giving facts and information but we had a guide called Dave who gave no facts or information just kept saying this is most important piece, this is a fine lady, this is most important piece. We returned and covered the museum ourselves another day. However pre book skip the que as even joining the que hours before opening you will wait hours.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the tour content worthwhile, but we’re sorry that your experience with the guide did not meet expectations. A guided tour should be informative and engaging, and we regret that this wasn’t the case for you. We appreciate your honest input and will use it to ensure better experiences in the future. It’s great that you were able to revisit the museum and explore at your own pace. Best regards, Alex
Completely SCAMMERS They sell you a perfect tour through the streets, a 2 hour tour, then everything is a lie The guide was Italian and another one translated, we didn't find out anything, we entered the tour at 3:50 p.m. and left at approximately 5:00 p.m. €120 for two people, thrown in the trash. Seriously, don't book here if you don't want to be disappointed, what a shame I didn't read reviews
